This glass negative, dated December 5, 1922, most likely shows Frederick H. Gillett, the Massachusetts Republican who served as Speaker of the House from 1919 to 1925. The record spells the name "Gillette," so the identification rests on the date and the title. The National Photo Company, a Washington studio, produced many of its pictures of officials and events in the capital, and this sitting falls in the short session of Congress that followed the November 1922 elections. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which the catalog attributes to natural deterioration of the original coating.
