Seated and turned to the left, Archbishop Patrick O'Boyle appears here in a half-length portrait taken between 1948 and 1954, the years when he first led the Archdiocese of Washington. The photograph carries a copyright credit to Chase, a Washington studio, which places it among the formal portraits made for church, civic, and press use in the capital during the mid-century decades. O'Boyle, born in 1896, served the archdiocese through a period of postwar growth in the city's Catholic parishes and schools. The image is a useful record of how a Washington churchman was presented to the public in that era.
