Roosevelt is shown here in a head-and-shoulders view, standing at a bank of microphones and turned toward the left of the frame, a posture that suggests he is mid-address rather than posing for a formal sitting. The record dates the print only to the years between 1930 and 1943, which spans most of his time as governor of New York and his first two terms as president. Radio was central to his public life in those years, and his fireside chats reached millions of listeners, so a portrait taken at the microphone captures the medium that shaped how Americans came to know him.
