Here the setting is a congressional hearing room rather than a street or monument, with Sears, Roebuck appearing before a joint committee of Congress. The photographer's studio, Harris & Ewing, was a Washington firm founded in 1905 that documented government officials, lawmakers and news events in the capital for decades. The record gives the date as May 4, 1939, but the year is in brackets, so it was estimated rather than taken from a printed source. Congressional hearings of that period often examined large business interests, which makes the picture a record of corporate scrutiny in Washington.
