EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures a historic moment in American history as President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Social Security Act into law on August 14,1935. The image showcases the significance of this legislation with its co-authors, Robert F. Wagner of New York and David J. Lewis of Maryland, standing proudly beside the President in their dark suits. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins stands directly behind President Roosevelt, symbolizing her instrumental role in shaping and championing this groundbreaking act. As one of the first women to hold a cabinet position, Perkins played a crucial part in advocating for social welfare programs that would provide economic security for Americans during times of hardship. The Cabinet Room at the White House serves as the backdrop for this historic signing ceremony, where important decisions are made and policies shaped. The room exudes an air of formality and importance with its elegant furnishings and grandeur. In this print from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we witness not only a significant legislative event but also glimpse into early 20th-century America – men wearing hats and glasses attentively watching as their representative takes action to protect citizens' well-being. This image is a testament to FDR's progressive vision and his commitment to improving the lives of everyday Americans through social reform initiatives like Social Security – an enduring legacy that continues to impact millions today.
