Eleanor Roosevelt, who would become one of the most influential first ladies in American history, is the subject here, and the caption card dates the portrait to May 3, 1924. By then she was the wife of New York politician Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose career had been interrupted by polio in 1921. Her public role was growing during these years as she took on party work and civic causes, a shift that would soon make her a figure in her own right. The record's details are unverified, so the photographer and exact occasion remain unknown.
