A studio portrait of a woman identified in the record as Mrs. R. Thomas West stands out from the many sitter portraits on this board because its name is its only specific detail. The image comes from the Harris & Ewing studio in Washington, D.C., which Richard Lloyd Ewing and George W. Harris founded in 1905. Over the following decades the firm photographed politicians, officials, and residents of the capital, and it left a large body of glass-plate negatives that the Library of Congress now holds. The record dates the picture only to between 1905 and 1945, so its exact sitting date remains uncertain, but its style reflects the formal, carefully lit portraiture the studio was known for.
