The title links this glass negative to a Senator Saulsbury, though the "N.J." in the caption is unverified and may not match the sitter's home state, since the Saulsbury name is most closely tied to Delaware. Willard Saulsbury Jr. represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1916 to 1928, a period when the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain, supplied newspapers with portraits of officials and public figures. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is hard to pin down, but the glass plate format points to the agency's early twentieth-century work.
