Little beyond the title survives for this glass negative, which names Herbert Hoover and came from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency. The title comes from unverified notes, so the date and occasion remain uncertain. Hoover had led wartime food relief in Europe and served as commerce secretary before winning the presidency in 1928, and news photographers of that period worked largely with glass plates like this one.
