Roosevelt and Fiorello La Guardia share this portrait, which places the two men together at a time when their working partnership was well established. La Guardia, the New York mayor who served from 1934 to 1945, was among the president's most visible allies in the city, and the pairing reflects the New Deal's close ties to urban leaders. The record dates the print to 1943, though the question mark signals some uncertainty, and it came to the Library of Congress as a gift from the Trans-Lux theater. Roosevelt, seated at his desk and turned to the right, was in the third year of his fourth term-era wartime leadership, and images like this were widely circulated to show a steady government at home.
