Few lawyers of his era drew as much public attention as Samuel Untermyer, the New York attorney shown in this 1932 photoprint. He became best known for his work as counsel to the House Pujo Committee in 1912, whose hearings into banking concentration helped shape national debate over the so-called money trust. The image came from Underwood & Underwood, a firm that supplied newspapers and magazines with photographs of public figures for decades, so it reflects the press portraiture of its time. The occasion for the sitting is not recorded, since the details here come from an unverified caption card.
