Roosevelt appears here in the company of two uniformed officers who are rendering a salute, a gesture that marks the formality of the moment and the commander-in-chief's role over the armed forces. The record gives no location, occasion or photographer, and it dates the print only to the years between 1935 and 1945, so the exact setting remains unknown. That span covers the New Deal years and the whole of the Second World War, when Roosevelt was a frequent subject of official photography and military ceremony. Viewers can read the image as a document of how the presidency and the armed services were visually linked during that period.
