Seated in half-length with one hand resting on a book, Franklin Roosevelt is shown here with a title that reads "Freedom under the stars with justice and security for all mankind." The photograph reproduces a painted portrait, a common way in the early 1940s to circulate a leader's likeness in print. By about 1943, Roosevelt was in his third presidential term and the United States was deep in the Second World War, so a message about freedom and security carried obvious weight for viewers. The copyright notation on the back shows the image was registered for distribution.
