This portrait is tied to the United States Railroad Administration, the federal agency that ran the nation's rail lines from late 1917 until early 1920, when the government took control of the railroads during World War I. The record doesn't name the sitter, but the title places the picture within that wartime effort, when railroad managers and officials were central to moving troops and supplies. The photographer, Harris & Ewing, was a Washington, D.C., studio founded in 1905 that made many portraits of government figures, so the image likely reflects the formal style of official documentation from that period.
