Product Details:

This print is of the original color transparency of FDR taken at 1944 Official Campaign Portrait session by Leon A. Perskie, Hyde Park, New York, August 22, 1944. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, is immortalized in history as a transformative leader who guided the nation through the tumultuous era of the Great Depression and World War II. Often portrayed in photographs and paintings as a reassuring and confident figure, FDR's enduring legacy is marked by his implementation of the New Deal, a series of programs aimed at alleviating the economic hardships of the Depression. His portrait captures a president with an air of resilience, depicted against the backdrop of unprecedented challenges. Roosevelt's use of the radio for his Fireside Chats and his signature smile, despite the physical toll of polio, endeared him to the American public. With his leadership extending over four terms, FDR's image reflects not only the weight of his responsibilities but also his ability to inspire hope and confidence during some of the nation's most trying times.
