Taken on January 20, 1945, this print shows Franklin D. Roosevelt addressing the crowd from a balcony during his fourth inauguration, a ceremony held at the White House rather than the Capitol because of the war. Roosevelt had already won an unprecedented four presidential elections, and the brief, subdued event reflected the nation's focus on the fighting in Europe and the Pacific. He died less than three months later, on April 12, 1945. The print comes from the collection of Harold L. Ickes, Roosevelt's Secretary of the Interior.
