This glass negative is titled "Will Hayes" and dated November 6, 1921, which falls within the first year of the Harding administration, when Will H. Hays was serving as postmaster general. The title was supplied by the National Photo Company, the Washington, D.C., studio that photographed many officials and public figures of the period, though the record notes that the name is unverified. Viewers may notice streaks and blemishes across the glass, which the record attributes to natural deterioration of the original coatings.
