Description: Original signatures of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Vice President, Henry A. Wallace, handsomely framed. Both autographs are guaranteed to be authentic. FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT, 32nd President (1933-1945) This order from President Roosevelt to the Treasury Department regulating the pricing and trade of certain cotton rugs might seem like a task beneath the time and attention of the president of the United States. However, it is indicative of the control Roosevelt’s New Deal program exerted over the minutiae of supply, demand, pricing, and labor during the Great Depression in an effort to restore, rejuvenate, and correct the decimated economy. Roosevelt was elected to an unprecedented four terms as president with the early stages of his time in office almost exclusively concentrated on domestic policy to rebound the economy and alleviate the hardships suffered by millions of Americans. The role of the government in the everyday workings and lives of the nation transformed fundamentally during this time. It altered from passive laissez faire policy to open and permanent government involvement in the relations between industry and the workforce and commerce and consumerism. However, this domestic focus of the Roosevelt administration naturally shifted to foreign affairs when the world entered the most extensive military conflict in human history: World War II. A cut signature signed by the 33rd Vice President of the United States: Henry A. Wallace. Wallace was running mate for FDR's historic third term election -- breaking the unofficial two term limit at the time set by George Washington. Wallace was known as a progressive and New Deal idealist. He was ahead of his time in advocating for equality and desegregation. He refused to address segregated audiences. He was a successful businessman and a capable agricultural administrator. Unlike many who enter politics, he disdained cajoling, exaggerating, bribing, or overpromising to earn support. Instead, Wallace tended to be straightforward and honest communicating his beliefs and plans in the hopes that those that agreed with him would support him over those that disagreed.
