The record dates this view of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's funeral procession to April 14, 1945, two days after he died at Warm Springs, Georgia. The caption card places it in New York, where the president was buried in the rose garden at his family estate in Hyde Park. Roosevelt had served as president for more than twelve years, the longest tenure of any president, so his funeral drew large crowds and wide press coverage. Images like this one document the grief and ceremony surrounding the death of a leader who had guided the country through the Great Depression and most of World War II.
