Franklin D. Roosevelt appears here in a half-length portrait, seated and turned slightly to the right, a pose that was common for formal studio work of the period. The print comes from a 1930s session by Jager Photo Service, whose name appears in the record, and it is one of many images of Roosevelt made during the years he served as governor of New York and then as president. Portraits of this kind were used widely in newspapers, campaign materials and government publications, so the picture reflects how the public was shown its leader during the Depression and the years leading up to the Second World War.
