Few pictures on this board place Herbert Hoover before a professional audience, but this one records him at a December 16, 1929, event tied to the American Pharmaceutical Association. Hoover had taken office in March of that year, and his early months as president brought a steady stream of appearances before trade and professional groups. The image comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington studio whose glass negatives document federal officials and public events in the 1920s and 1930s. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which result from natural deterioration of the original coatings.
