A woman seated before a row of radio microphones sets this picture apart from the usual portraits of the president on this board. The record does not name her or the occasion, so her role in the event is uncertain. The microphones point to how central radio had become in Franklin D. Roosevelt's years in office, when his fireside chats reached millions of households. Pictures like this capture a press event that was being broadcast to listeners as well as recorded for the reporters in the room.
