Dated April 23, 1922, this glass negative pairs a Secretary Davis with Jean Allys Davis, though the title comes from unverified data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. "Secretary Davis" most likely refers to James J. Davis, who led the Department of Labor from 1921 to 1930. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., documented government officials and public events in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates often show streaks and coating loss from age, as this one does.
