Mayor James J. Walker of New York stands at the center of this full-length view, leaving the U.S. Capitol on October 1, 1928, with William E. Walsh and Charles L. Craig at his side. Walker, a Tammany Hall-backed Democrat who led New York City from 1926 until 1932, was known for his tailored dress and easy public manner, and photographs like this one helped spread his image well beyond the city. The Capitol behind the group places the scene in Washington, where city officials often traveled to press their concerns with Congress.
