Additional Details

The album begins with a portrait of Governor Carroll S. Page, followed by the senate's president, chaplain, and doorkeeper, followed by the senators, and concludes with photographs of two young lads, identified elsewhere as the Senate's messengers, and the senate reporter. Each man, even the rather intimidating doorkeeper (pictured), has provided his signature on a matching card.
