The record names Herbert Hoover, in his first year as president, posed with Col. John Thomas Taylor on July 17, 1929. The photograph comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington studio whose glass negatives recorded officials, visitors, and public events in the capital during the 1910s through the 1930s. The title comes from the studio's own notes and has not been independently verified, so the identification of Taylor is worth checking against other sources. The negative shows streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which is typical of glass plates from this period.
