Hoover stands among the American delegates to the Pan American Road Conference, photographed on May 22, 1925, when he was serving as Secretary of Commerce under President Calvin Coolidge. The meeting brought together officials from across the Americas to discuss road building and motor transport, a subject the Commerce Department promoted as automobiles reshaped travel. The image comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington studio that recorded government figures and public events for decades. Streaks and blemishes across the glass negative reflect the natural deterioration of its original coating over time.
