Few portraits in the National Photo Company Collection come with a date as precise as this one: March 31, 1924, recorded on the glass negative itself. The subject is Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, who had served in the Senate since 1919 and was a prominent newspaper publisher before entering politics. The National Photo Company operated in Washington, D.C., making portraits and views of officials, buildings and events, so this plate captures the routine but revealing work of a studio serving the capital's political figures in the mid-1920s. The record notes some streaking and blemishes from the deterioration of the original coating, which is typical of glass plates of this age.
