Circa 1940s Dwight Eisenhower & Franklin Roosevelt Photo (PSA Type I)
Presented is a Type I 8x10" black and white 1940s original photograph of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and U.S. Army General Dwight Eisenhower, from the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Eisenhower was a West Point graduate who was interested in sports - he was on the West Point football team and once played against Jim Thorpe. Eisenhower was an average student at West Point and often received demerits for his lapses in discipline. Yet he rose to the rank of a four-star general and later became a five-star general when Franklin Roosevelt named Eisenhower as the Supreme Allied Expeditionary Commander and later choose Eisenhower to the successful Allied invasion of Europe, known as the "D-Day Invasion," at Normandy, France. In 1953, Eisenhower became the 34th President of the United States, and he served two terms, until 1961. Franklin Roosevelt was the 32nd U.S. President and he received renown for his New Deal programs as attempts to extricate the country from the Great Depression. He guided the United States through most of World War II. Roosevelt served as President from 1933 until April 12, 1945, when he died in office near the end of the WW II. The photo exhibits some slight darkening and foxing because of the passage of time but is otherwise in excellent condition. The photograph, taken at an unknown location at which Roosevelt appears to be presenting a medal to Eisenhower, pairs two of the World's foremost leaders of World War II.
