Herbert Hoover appears at a celebration in Madison, Va., on August 17, 1929, while Virginia Governor Harry F. Byrd addresses the crowd. Hoover had taken office earlier that year, and the Rapidan River country of Madison County soon became home to his mountain retreat. The negative comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington firm known for news and portrait work. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from deterioration of its original coatings rather than from the scene itself.
