Mrs. H.A. Colman, identified in the record as president of the League of American Penwomen, is the subject of this portrait dated April 25, 1925. The League brought together women writers and journalists, and a formal portrait of its leader reflects the growing public visibility of women in letters and reporting during the 1920s. The picture comes from the National Photo Company collection, a Washington, D.C. studio whose glass-plate portraits documented officials and prominent citizens. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural deterioration of its original coatings, a detail worth keeping in mind when studying the image.
