Herbert Hoover appears here alongside a group of people identified in the title as being from Houston, Texas, a detail that places the picture on a regional stop rather than in Washington. The date on the record is September 6, 1929, a few months after Hoover took office as the 31st president in March of that year. The image comes from the National Photo Company Collection, a body of glass negatives made by a commercial studio that documented public figures and events across the United States in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates often show surface streaks and deterioration from the original coatings, so some of the fine detail here may be softened.
