Herbert Hoover took the oath of office on March 4, 1929, and this glass negative, catalogued under the title "Hoover Inauguration, 1929," is one of many images the National Photo Company made of the ceremony in Washington. Its record carries the title only as unverified data from the company's own negative or sleeve, so the exact moment captured is not confirmed. The Hoover inauguration was among the last held before the stock market crash later that year, and the new president's administration would soon face the Great Depression. Visible streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of its original coatings.
