The caption names the sitter as William Alden Smith of Michigan, a Republican from Grand Rapids who served in the U.S. House from 1895 to 1907 and then in the Senate until 1919. The title comes from unverified data on the negative sleeve, and the caption's "Rep." reflects his earlier House service, though the 1909 to 1920 date range falls mostly during his Senate years. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., making portraits of lawmakers and officials, and the plate shows the streaks and clouding typical of aging glass-plate coatings.
