This portrait shows members of the congressional press corps, the reporters who covered the Capitol and its daily proceedings, and it was made by Harris & Ewing, the Washington studio founded in 1905 by George W. Harris and Ira L. Ewing. The firm photographed a wide range of officials, diplomats and newsmakers over four decades, and its archive is a major visual record of political life in the capital. Pictures like this one show how the press gallery worked as a community of correspondents who shared access to Congress and competed to report its debates, so the sitters' poses and setting are worth reading closely.
