The title points to the Federal Farm Loan Board, the federal body created by the Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916 to oversee the federal land banks that issued long-term mortgage loans to farmers. The record dates the scene to August 25, 1923, though the title comes from unverified notes written on the negative sleeve, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The picture is a glass negative from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that documented government officials and events in the early twentieth century. Streaks and blemishes on the plate come from the natural breakdown of its original coating, which is part of what makes it worth studying as an object.
