Exquisite vintage color 11.5 x 15 collotype print of Elizabeth Shoumatoff’s portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed as president in the lower border in fountain pen, “Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jan. 30, 1944.” Framed to an overall size of 13.5 x 17. In fine condition. This rare print of Shoumatoff’s distinguished portrait, showing the grey-haired Roosevelt in a winter naval cape—symbolically set against a clouded horizon with a sliver of blue sky over his right shoulder—was named ‘Signing the Atlantic Charter,’ by the President himself, in reference to the momentous pre-war conference with Churchill that resulted in the August 1941 Atlantic Charter. Inscribed for presentation only to his closest family members and the few members of the Cuff Links Club, this is a remarkable portrait from a key year in Roosevelt’s presidency.
