Royal C. Johnson and Roy V. Woodruff are the two men named in this glass negative, dated April 15, 1922. Johnson represented South Dakota in the U.S. House of Representatives during these years, which helps place the sitting in Washington. The title comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the Library has not verified those names. The company photographed officials, visitors and daily life in the capital, and its glass plates remain a major source for the period. Streaks and blemishes on this negative come from deterioration of the original coatings, so they affect the image's clarity.
