Bertrand H. Snell is named in this glass negative's title, which the National Photo Company recorded on the negative or its sleeve, though the Library of Congress notes that the attribution is unverified. Snell represented a northern New York district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1915 and later became a prominent House Republican. The negative is dated to roughly 1921 to 1922, when the National Photo Company was busy documenting members of Congress and other officials in Washington. The glass itself is worth a look, since streaks and blemishes from deterioration of the original coating show how fragile these early negatives can be.
