Members of the Newspaper Women's Club visit President Franklin D. Roosevelt, seated at left, at his home on East 65th St. in 1934. Standing from left are Anne Lee, Ethyl Mocker, Charlotte Payne, Deborah Corle, and Marion Clyde McCarroll.
This is a very unusual picture of FDR in that it shows the braces on his legs. He normally did everything he could to conceal his disability.

FDR's Pigs
FDR enjoyed collecting pig figurines and kept this one on his Oval Office desk. It was a Christmas gift from Eleanor Roosevelt in 1937. The First Lady had admired the pig during a guided tour of a Rural Arts Exhibit staged in Washington D.C. It was made at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. The exhibit’s organizer, Allen E. Eaton, gave the pig to her. When FDR opened his gift he reportedly said, “Don’t let Henry see this,” referring to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace. Wallace led a controversial campaign to encourage farmers to destroy pigs to maintain pork prices.
