A glass negative of Henry C. Wallace, dated August 16, 1921, places the sitter about five months into his term as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture under President Warren G. Harding. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio, made many portraits of federal officials and public figures in this period, so the negative reflects the capital's routine demand for official portraits. The date comes from a related negative rather than from this one, and the emulsion shows streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating.
