Black-and-white photograph of Eleanor Roosevelt in formal dress, signed by her at the bottom of the image.
The full-length photographic portrait depicts Eleanor Roosevelt from the side, dressed in a sleeveless white jacquard gown. This photograph was most likely taken prior to one of the Birthday Ball benefits for the March of Dimes, based on the similar gowns that Roosevelt wore to the 1934 and 1936 Birthday Balls. “© Underwood + Underwood” written at bottom of photograph. Expert original retouching to Roosevelt’s silhouette.
Slightest creasing to margins around photograph. A lovely signed photograph in fine condition.
