Roosevelt is shown laughing at a table on Jefferson Island, Louisiana, a salt dome island in the state's southwestern marshlands, with his longtime political ally James Farley beside him. Farley managed Roosevelt's 1932 presidential campaign and then served as postmaster general and chairman of the Democratic National Committee, so the two men's easy good humor here reflects a working partnership that carried the New Deal's political machinery. The record does not give a date, but the informal setting and relaxed expressions suggest a private moment away from Washington, which makes the picture a useful counterpoint to the more formal portraits of the president.
