A Senate subcommittee sitting to examine lobbying is the subject here, a kind of inquiry Congress returned to several times in the early twentieth century as it questioned how private interests pressed their case on lawmakers. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that recorded official life and news in the capital, most likely made the negative, though the title comes from its unverified notation and the exact session is not confirmed. The glass plate shows streaks and blemishes from the slow breakdown of its original coating, which is typical of negatives from this period.
