EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in American history - Franklin Roosevelt leaving the US Capitol Building after addressing a Joint Session of Congress on September 21,1939. The image, taken by Harris & Ewing, showcases the iconic president standing on the steps of the Capitol with two other individuals beside him. In this low angle view, we see Roosevelt as a powerful figure, exuding confidence and determination. His presence is further emphasized by the grandeur of the Capitol Building behind him. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when leaders were revered and their speeches held immense weight. This snapshot from the past transports us to an era marked by crisis and uncertainty - World War II was looming on the horizon. As one of America's most influential presidents, FDR played a crucial role in guiding his nation through these tumultuous times. The composition highlights not only Roosevelt but also his companions: Kenneth Romney Ghiv and Edwin Stanton. These men symbolize collaboration and leadership during challenging times. Bridgeman Images has preserved this vintage portrait that serves as both historical documentation and artistic representation. It allows us to reflect upon our shared past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
