Object Details
George Miller chaired the Natural Resources Committee for four years, and his portrait was the first to depict aspects of the committee’s jurisdiction. Miller, a Californian with an interest in western water resources, chose to include Yosemite Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the world, in his portrait. Like many a visitor before him, Miller sits in shirtsleeves on a low wall in Yosemite National Park, with the upper falls in the background.
