Herbert Hoover took the oath of office on March 4, 1929, and this glass negative from the National Photo Company Collection records that day's ceremony, though the title comes from data written on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The image is a 4 by 5 inch glass plate, the format press photographers and commercial studios relied on before roll film became standard. Visitors should look past the streaks and blotches, which come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings and are typical of plates of this age.
