Specializing in official portraits, it customarily takes great pains to curry official favor, stay in officialdom's good graces. In releasing this unusual photograph, however, Harris & Ewing did not merely neglect to explain the circumstances of its taking but captioned it as follows: "PENSIVE PRESIDENT PONDERS PROBLEMS.
