Cora Rubens is the subject here, shown as secretary to Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, a long-serving Republican who was one of the Senate's best-known voices against American entry into the League of Nations. The portrait is dated April 26, 1939, and came from the Washington, D.C., studio of Harris & Ewing, which made formal sittings for many government workers and officials during the period. Staff members like Rubens rarely get individual portraits, so the picture offers a glimpse of the people who ran a senator's daily office in the late 1930s.
