A c1948 photoprint of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president, bears a copyright notice in the name of Russell E. Manuel, which suggests it circulated as a commercial picture rather than an official government portrait. The date falls in the middle of Truman's first full term. He had taken office in April 1945 after Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, and the year ended with his surprise victory over Thomas E. Dewey in the November election. The caption card details for this print are unverified, so the exact occasion and photographer remain uncertain.
