Members of the Supreme Court are the subjects of this picture, shown on a formal call at the White House, an occasion that once carried real ceremonial weight. In the early twentieth century, justices often paid courtesy visits to the president, and these calls were sometimes marked with group portraits like this one. The caption card gives no date, so the exact occasion is uncertain, but the image records the Court in its role as a visiting branch of government at the executive mansion.
