- Description:
- To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Blatt's election as Speaker, the House of Representatives commissioned this portrait, which still hangs in the South Carolina House Chamber. Blatt's three grandchildren pulled back the curtain to reveal the portrait at the unveiling ceremony. Far from constituting the culmination of Blatt's legislative career, he would continue to serve in the House until his death almost thirty years later in 1986.
