The record ties this portrait to Harold Ickes, the Secretary of the Interior who also headed the Public Works Administration, and dates it to July 1939, when he was publicly criticizing a housing bill. Ickes was one of the most outspoken New Deal officials, and his fights over public housing made him a frequent subject of press coverage in Washington. The photograph comes from Harris & Ewing, a Washington studio that documented officials, lawmakers and other public figures for decades, so it offers a useful glimpse of the capital's political life at the time.
