This photograph pairs two men tied to Franco-American diplomacy: Myron T. Herrick, the American ambassador to France, and Jean Jules Jusserand, who served as France's ambassador to the United States for more than two decades. Their names come from the Bain News Service caption, which the Library of Congress notes is unverified, and the record gives no date or setting. The Bain agency sold news photographs of prominent visitors and officials to newspapers, so the picture likely belongs to that everyday practice of documenting diplomats at public occasions. The pairing itself is worth noticing, since the two men worked on the close relations between the two countries.
