This May 15, 1924 portrait pairs two Episcopal bishops, Rt. Rev. Lucien Lee Kinsolving and Bishop Joseph Edward Freeman, a pairing that suggests a meeting or official occasion rather than a solitary studio sitting. The image survives as a 4 by 5 inch glass negative from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm that recorded public figures and visitors in the 1910s through the 1930s. Glass plates like this one were common then and are fragile, so streaks and blemishes from the aging of the original coating are visible and worth noticing when studying the print.
