Senator Obadiah Gardner of Maine is the subject named in this record, which identifies the sitter through the National Photo Company's own notes on the negative sleeve. The image survives as a glass negative, a format widely used by Washington studios in the early twentieth century, when officials and visitors to the capital sat for portraits in large numbers. The date range of 1909 to 1919 was inferred from other negatives in the same group rather than from a dated record for this sitting. Because the title comes from unverified company data, the identification has not been independently confirmed. Faint streaks and blemishes across the surface reflect the gradual breakdown of the original emulsion coatings.
