Hughes, pictured here, was the 11th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the 36th Governor of New York, and a prominent American Politician. Hughes also served as Secretary of State under Calvin Coolidge. This image was taken by Albany-area photographer G. Taylor Griffin, and the attire Hughes wears is used to estimate a date. The image was printed by the East Hampton Star, which was founded in 1885. That information and Hughes's attire helps to date the image.
