A fabulous sepia of FDR measuring 7.75" x 10" featuring a close-up head and shoulders image of FDR by Ortho of New York. The sepia image likely shows FDR as President in his early years, or as Governor of New York in his later years, boldly signed "Franklin D. Roosevelt" in black ink in the blank margin beneath the image. The top right corner has a tear but the photo is in otherwise fine condition.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), served as the 32nd president of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. As a member of the Democratic Party, he won a record four presidential elections and became a central figure in world events during the first half of the 20th century. Roosevelt directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing his New Deal domestic agenda in response to the worst economic crisis in U.S. history. As a dominant leader of his party, he built the New Deal Coalition, which defined modern liberalism in the United States throughout the middle third of the 20th century. His third and fourth terms were dominated by World War II, which ended shortly after he died in office.
