Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in April 1945, the longest tenure of any American president, and he led the country through the Great Depression and most of the Second World War. This portrait belongs to a large body of photographs made of him during those years, when his image was carefully managed through official and press channels. The record gives no date for the picture, so its exact occasion is unknown, but its caption identifies the sitter simply as the president. Viewers interested in the period may find it useful to compare it with other dated portraits from his three and a half terms in office.
