The title pairs a senator named Cameron with officers of the Capitol Police, the force that guards the Capitol and its grounds in Washington. The picture is dated March 29, 1924, and comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington firm that recorded officials, public events and street life in the capital in the 1910s and 1920s. The title was supplied from unverified information, so the names and occasion are worth checking against other sources. The glass negative also shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, a common sign of age in plates from this era.
