Harris & Ewing, a Washington, D.C. studio that photographed government officials, lawyers and visitors to the capital for decades, made this portrait on February 23, 1939, a date that places it during a busy stretch for congressional and judicial business. The record links the picture to a judiciary hearing, so the sitter was likely a witness, official or lawyer connected with the proceedings at the Capitol, where committee work and courtroom appearances drew a steady stream of people to the city. Harris & Ewing was among the most prolific photographers of the era, and its studio portraits are valued today as a record of the officials who shaped national policy in the late 1930s.
