This portrait is tied to the War Munitions Building in Washington, D.C., a large government office block that went up as the United States expanded its wartime administration during and just after World War I. The title also links the sitting to a man named Wooten, though the record gives no further detail about him. The photographer was Harris & Ewing, a Washington studio that documented federal buildings, officials, and everyday life in the capital from the early 1900s into the 1940s. Its large body of work is a useful record of how the city's government grew in those years.
