Harold L. Ickes, the Chicago lawyer and reform politician who went on to serve as Secretary of the Interior under Franklin D. Roosevelt, stands in this full-length portrait with a formal, upright bearing. Ickes built his reputation in Chicago fighting corruption in city and state government and led the Progressive reform wing of Illinois politics before his national career began in 1933. Portraits like this one were commonly used in newspapers and political literature of the period, when a politician's image helped shape public trust. Ickes was known for his combative, outspoken style, and a picture showing him standing tall suits a man who made his name by taking on powerful interests.
