A woman wearing a name badge smiles broadly as she shakes hands with a man, a detail that points to a reception, conference, or workplace setting rather than a formal studio portrait. The picture is grouped with images from Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, which lasted from 1933 to 1945 and brought many new federal agencies, whose staff often met the public at relief offices, conferences, and wartime events. Name badges were a common way to identify participants at such gatherings, so the image offers a glimpse of everyday civic work during the New Deal and World War II years. The record does not name the people or the occasion, so those details remain open.
