A studio portrait from Harris & Ewing, the Washington, D.C., firm that began working in the capital in 1905 and kept a busy practice for four decades. The studio built its reputation on formal likenesses of government officials, society figures and ordinary residents, and its work also reached newspapers through a steady stream of news photographs. The record includes few details about this particular sitter, so the image is best read as an example of the studio's approach: posed figures, controlled lighting and a plain backdrop suited to the period's taste for dignified portraits. Its presence in the Library of Congress collection makes it a useful record of how commercial portrait work documented the people of the capital.
