EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history, featuring Thomas E Dewey alongside Fiorello H La Guardia, the Mayor of New York City in the late 1930s. Dewey, known for his relentless fight against crime and corruption, was appointed as Special Prosecutor to lead this battle in New York. His successful prosecution of notorious mobster Lucky Luciano catapulted him into national fame. Dewey's career continued to flourish as he was elected District Attorney of New York County in 1937 and later served as Governor of the state from 1943 to 1954. Despite being an unsuccessful Republican candidate for the US Presidency in both 1944 and 1948, Dewey left an indelible mark on American politics. La Guardia, on the other hand, served as Mayor of New York City from 1934 until 1945. He gained widespread acclaim for his leadership during the Great Depression and strong support for President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. In this image, we see these two influential figures engaged in conversation at a desk adorned with classic furniture. Their attire exudes authority and professionalism while their smoking pipes add a touch of sophistication.
