Can you identify any of these members of the sixty-fifth U.S. Congress, who posed for a panoramic photographer on March 20, 1918? (LOC)

The staff of the U. S. House of Representatives’ Office of Art & Archives have identified quite a few Members of Congress who sat for this picture (see their list of tentative identifications), but they'd like to identify some more.

 

To see the members' faces up close, you'll need to zoom in on the file or look at the video they included in one of their blog posts about the photo (scroll down).

 

Read more about the Office of Art & Archives’ detective work with the panorama in this blog post: "Who's Who in the 65th" and explore the significance of the lone woman in the group, Jeannette Rankin, in another blog post, "No Woman is an Island."
