This photographic print shows Paul Oscar Husting, a Wisconsin Democrat who served in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 1910s. The record dates the portrait to circa March 22, 1915, and its caption card links it to a congressional portrait index, which suggests it was made for official or political use rather than as a casual studio sportrait. The portrait falls in the years before the United States entered World War I in 1917, a period when Congress was debating preparedness and neutrality. Because the caption data is unverified, the exact circumstances of the sitting are not recorded.
