A portrait of James Madison Gudger, Jr., a North Carolina lawyer who served in the U.S. House of Representatives in the early 1900s, dated on its caption card to about March 27, 1912. The record notes that these details come from an old card and have not been verified. Gudger represented a western North Carolina district, and portraits of legislators from this period were often made for newspapers, official use, or political purposes. Pictures like this help researchers see how public men presented themselves before radio and television shaped political image-making.
