Vintage matte-finish 14 x 11 photo of a determined-looking Roosevelt at work at his desk in the Oval Office, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To J. E. Ramsey from his friend, Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Photo is affixed to a slightly larger mount. A couple areas of creasing to background, and adhesive remnants and pencil notations to borders (all of which could be matted out for a handsome display), otherwise fine condition. Determined to appear vital and active in the eyes of the nation despite his near-constant use of a wheelchair, Roosevelt placed heavy restrictions on photographers during his presidency, carefully orchestrating poses that showed him with no signs of weakness. This is an excellent example, showing the strength of the president engaged in his business.
