The title places Cardinal William O'Connell, archbishop of Boston, at a Holy Name convention, a gathering of the Catholic men's society known for its devotional and public activities. The date, September 21, 1924, comes from a related negative, while the title rests on information the National Photo Company wrote on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified. That Washington, D.C. studio photographed public events and prominent figures throughout the early twentieth century. Streaks and blemishes on the glass reflect the natural deterioration of its original coating.
