- Description:
- Image of the inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt, by artist and caricaturist, Miguel Covarrubias, owned by the National Portrait Gallery. "No president ever took office against a darker backdrop than Franklin Roosevelt on March 4, 1933, with banks failing by the dozens and unemployment at 28 percent, total national collapse seemed possible, and the day's gray weather only reinforced the bleak mood, the carefully chosen words of Roosevelt's inaugural speech, however, briefly lifted the gloom, and when he broke into a confident smile at the close, the crowd sent up a relieved cheer, the optimism of that moment grew in the coming months as Roosevelt's New Dealers launched their whirlwind of innovative measures to cure the Great Depression, caricaturist Miguel Covarrubias produced this rendering of the inauguration for Vanity Fair, which billed it as a panorama of "magnificos, diplomats, and military commanders," In the lower right is the doleful "Forgotten Man," wearing a sandwich board-a grim reminder of the country's dire straits," from the National Portrait Gallery's website.
