Here a newly appointed French ambassador is captured in a formal sitting, the kind of diplomatic portrait that made Washington a regular stop for foreign envoys. The Harris & Ewing studio, opened in the capital in 1910 by George W. Harris and Richard Lee Ewing, grew into one of the city's busiest portrait and news photography businesses, serving officials, society figures and the press. Portraits of new diplomats were often circulated to newspapers, so the picture served as a public introduction as well as a personal record. Today it offers a glimpse of how official Washington presented itself in the early twentieth century.
