Rather than a single formal sitting, this print frames Franklin D. Roosevelt's head and shoulders in a ring of roughly sixty smaller photographs, all of him. The bust portrait shows him in a hat, turned slightly to the right. Roosevelt served as president from 1933 until his death in April 1945, and the date of about 1945 places the print near the end of his long wartime tenure. Montages of this kind were a popular way to present a public figure as ever-present, and the repeated images invite viewers to notice the many moods and occasions the picture gathers together.
