Bertrand H. Snell, a New York Republican who served for many years in the U.S. House of Representatives, is the subject of this portrait, which the record dates to roughly 1921 to 1922. Studio portraits of officials and public figures like this one were a staple of the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. firm that documented political life in the early twentieth century. The glass negative shows streaks and blemishes from deterioration of its original coating, and these flaws are part of what the image looks like today.
