The record identifies the sitter only as "Honorable" L. H. Hadley, a title that points to a public office, though the surviving caption does not say which one. The portrait was made on December 31, 1936, at the Washington, D.C., studio of Harris & Ewing, which George W. Harris and Richard Lee Ewing founded in 1905. The firm photographed senators, cabinet members, judges and other officials for decades, and its studio portraits were widely reproduced in newspapers, so they became a common record of Washington public life in the 1920s and 1930s.
