Here the subject is a group gathered with Herbert Hoover, though the record's title, "Hoover & No. Carolina group," is a label supplied by the National Photo Company and has not been independently verified. The date given is August 28, 1929, a few months after Hoover took office as the 31st president in March of that year. Group photographs like this one were a staple of the company's work, which documented official visits, delegations and public occasions in Washington and beyond. The glass negative format, now fragile and prone to surface streaks from age, preserves the sharp detail of an era when press and commercial photographers relied on large-format plates.
