Richard Nixon appears here in a tight head-and-shoulders view, facing the camera from behind a podium, a setting that points to his public speaking work in the years before he became president in 1969. The photograph belongs to the Toni Frissell Collection at the Library of Congress, which holds a large body of work by Frissell, a photographer known for her portraits of political figures, athletes and public life in the middle of the twentieth century. Nixon's rise from a congressman to vice president under Dwight Eisenhower, and his political career more broadly, make a portrait like this a useful record of how public figures presented themselves to the camera in that era.
