This 1943 print shows Elliott Roosevelt, the son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and a grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, greeting people on his return to the United States, with the handshake as its central moment. By July 1943, Elliott was an Army Air Forces officer who had flown reconnaissance missions during the Allied campaigns in North Africa and Europe, and his homecoming drew press attention because of his famous family. The photograph belongs to the Library of Congress's collection of prints and photographs and offers a view of a wartime homecoming that linked the Roosevelt political dynasty with the U.S. military effort.
