Franklin D. Roosevelt 1932 Campaign Poster

This original pro-Roosevelt 1932 presidential campaign poster utilizes an etching created by Leon Perskie ( 1899 – 1982 ) . Perskie was the official photographer to four American presidents: Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson, creating formal portrait etchings from photographs, and did the official photo albums of the inaugural activities.
This poster features Franklin D. Roosevelt depicted in a dignified semi-profile, symbolizing his leadership and vision during a transformative moment in American history. The clean composition focuses solely on Roosevelt’s portrait, rendered with striking clarity and detail, evoking confidence and trust. Below the image, the simple text reads "Franklin D. Roosevelt," underscoring his name and the directness of his campaign messaging.
This poster was produced during Roosevelt’s first presidential campaign, as the country faced the challenges of the Great Depression. Its understated yet impactful design reflects the era’s emphasis on bold, straightforward visuals to inspire voters and rally public support.
