In 1937, Harris and Ewing, the noted firm of photographers in Washington, was given the commission of taking a photograph of President Roosevelt, Vice President John Nance Garner, and the Cabinet as they sat around the Cabinet table at the start of Roosevelt's second term. This is that photograph, showing FDR at left, Garner in the back, and the members on either side. They are: Homer Cummings (Attorney General), James A. Farley (Postmaster General), Cordell Hull (Secretary of State), Henry H. Woodring (Secretary of War), Harold L. Ickes (Secretary of the Interior), Daniel C. Roper (Secretary of Commerce), Frances Perkins (Secretary of Labor), Henry A. Wallace (Secretary of Agriculture), Claude Swanson (Secretary of the Navy), and Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (Secretary of the Treasury).
This photograph is 11 1/2 by 12, and is signed by all of the men and women present. Although photographs such as this of the Executive branch leadership of other presidents are not uncommon, is a rarity to find one of FDR, this being the first we have had in all of our years in the field.
