While we're on modified schedule, I'm here to share photos I've taken in the DC Archives over the past four and a half years. Today I'm enjoying the expression on the face of this long-ago Recorder of Deeds. This portrait is part of a series commissioned during the New Deal. -RAK

@councilofdc @DCArchivesOPR Note the plaque says "this flag of your state..." Can we use it to claim Nixon gave us statehood?
