Here the setting is a grapery, a glasshouse for growing grapevines, where Prof. George Husmann of the Department of Agriculture appears in a photograph dated January 26, 1925. Husmann was a well-known figure in American grape culture and winemaking, so a portrait taken among his vines fits the period's interest in horticultural research. The National Photo Company made this record on glass, and the streaks and spots on the plate come from the gradual breakdown of its original coating rather than from the scene itself.
