In this photograph, Eugene Meyer is seated at a dining room table with his grandchildren from the Graham family and other guests at a birthday party. Meyer was a financier who chaired the Federal Reserve Board in 1930 and 1931 and later bought The Washington Post. His daughter, Katharine Graham, would run the paper for decades. The caption card gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown, but the picture offers a glimpse of a private family gathering. Its informal arrangement around the table is worth noticing as a record of domestic life among a prominent Washington family.
