Franklin D. Roosevelt appears here in a portrait dated around 1933, the year he took office as the 32nd president on March 4 amid the depths of the Great Depression. The record is thin: it is a single print catalogued in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, and its date and attribution come from a shelflist card that has not been fully verified, with a name, Bicknell, noted on that card. Pictures from this period were widely reproduced for newspapers and campaign materials, so portraits of Roosevelt from his first months in office were meant to project calm confidence to a nation looking for leadership.
