This glass negative records a pairing of two senators, Cornelius Cole and a Senator Shartridge, on June 26, 1922. Cole had served as a Republican senator from California in the 1860s and 1870s, so by 1922 he was a former legislator in his last years, and the photograph likely captures a visit or meeting in Washington, where the National Photo Company worked and documented public figures. The record's title comes from data the company wrote on the negatives, so the spelling and identification are unverified. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings.
