The title on this glass negative pairs the names Hoover and Hurley, though the record gives no date and the Bain News Service caption data is unverified. Herbert Hoover is the president the gallery board ties it to. If the Hurley named is Patrick J. Hurley, he served as Secretary of War in Hoover's cabinet from 1929 to 1933, a period shaped by the onset of the Great Depression. Bain News Service, a New York agency, sent photographs like this one to newspapers, so the negative reflects how the press documented officials of that era.
