Shown in right profile from the waist up, Franklin D. Roosevelt waves to an unseen crowd from behind a speaker's podium, a gesture that suggests the easy public manner he cultivated during his time in office. Roosevelt served as president from 1933 until his death in April 1945, and he appeared before audiences often during the Great Depression and the Second World War, when speeches, campaign stops and radio addresses were central to how he reached voters. The caption card gives no date, so the occasion itself is unrecorded, but the pose fits the many public appearances he made in those years.
