Franklin D. Roosevelt sits on a reviewing stand in this print, leaning toward a woman seated beside him as the two talk, a relaxed moment for a man usually pictured in formal poses. The record dates the photograph only to the 1930s, a span that covered his first two terms as president, when he made frequent public appearances and his image was carefully managed for a nation in the Great Depression. Pictures like this one, showing him in conversation rather than addressing a crowd, offer a glimpse of the personal side of his public life. The print comes from the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division, one of the largest holdings of American photography in the world.
