Object Details

By the time this 1913 photograph was taken on the steps of the Capitol, Perry Belmont had been out of Congress for more than two decades, but he was still a player on the Hill. From his mansion on New Hampshire Avenue in Washington, DC, Belmont spearheaded a successful effort for campaign finance reform. In this photograph, however, he perhaps had his mind on other matters, judging from the cruise brochures in his hands.
