The old caption card ties this 1934 portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt to a joint session of Congress, which places him on Capitol Hill at a time when New Deal legislation was being debated there. The photograph was made by Harris & Ewing, a Washington, D.C., studio that recorded many officials and visitors during these years. Because the details come from an unverified card, the exact occasion is best read as a lead rather than a settled fact.
