This undated print shows Felix Frankfurter and Al Smith seated together, shown full length, a pairing that brings two prominent figures of early twentieth-century American public life into one frame. Smith served four terms as governor of New York and was the Democratic nominee for president in 1928, while Frankfurter, a Harvard Law School professor, was an adviser to New York reform causes and later became a Supreme Court justice. The caption card records no date and the source is unknown, so the occasion of the sitting is not documented. The pose itself, with both men seated at ease, suggests a formal portrait or a staged meeting rather than a candid moment.
