Herbert Hoover is the subject of this glass negative, catalogued by the National Photo Company as "Hoover poses for Falkirs," a title the record marks as unverified. The date of 1929 is bracketed, inferred from neighboring negatives, and it falls in Hoover's first year as the 31st president. The Washington firm produced many portraits of officials and public figures in this period. Streaks and blemishes across the plate come from natural deterioration of its original coating.
