Three women and men tied to two presidencies meet in this picture: Eleanor Roosevelt, Edith Bolling Wilson, widow of Woodrow Wilson, and Josephus Daniels, who led the Navy Department while Franklin D. Roosevelt served under him as assistant secretary. The Washington studio Harris & Ewing made the portrait, and its caption card dates it to about March 1945, the month before Franklin Roosevelt died in April of that year. The gathering reflects how closely the families of Washington's political leaders overlapped in that era.
