Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the subject here, though the record gives little beyond his name, life dates and an approximate date of about 1942, which comes from a caption card and has not been verified. By that year Roosevelt was in his second term as the 32nd president and was directing the United States through the early years of its entry into the Second World War, a period when official portraits like this one circulated widely in newspapers and government publications. Portraits from these years often sought to show a steady, confident leader for a nation at war.
