This glass negative captures Herbert Hoover receiving a group of delegates on July 24, 1929, during his first year as president, in a session tied to the Kellogg-Briand Pact. The 1928 treaty, named for Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, committed its signatories to renounce war as an instrument of national policy. The record's title also credits Coolidge, but the date falls after Hoover took office in March 1929, so the attribution is worth checking. The plate came from the National Photo Company, whose press photographs documented Washington officials in the 1920s and 1930s. Visible streaks and blemishes come from deterioration in the original emulsion coatings.
