Tim Lee Carter was a Republican congressman from Kentucky, and this 1974 portrait shows him in a head-and-shoulders view turned to the left, the standard pose of the Library of Congress's Congressional Portrait Collection. Carter served in the House of Representatives from 1965 to 1981, a stretch that covered the Vietnam War's aftermath, the Watergate scandal, and the rise of a more assertive Congress. Portraits like this one were made to document members of Congress for official and archival use, so the image records not just a face but a generation of American lawmakers at work.
