Harding sits in the back seat of an automobile in this portrait, wearing a Masonic hat labeled "Aladdin," a detail that sets it apart from more formal presidential photographs of the period. The picture dates to roughly 1921 to 1923, when Harding was president and a well-known member of the Masonic fraternity. Presidents were photographed often in those years, and images like this one, showing a leader in a fraternal setting rather than at his desk, helped the public see him as a sociable figure. Harding died in office in August 1923.
