Toespraak van de Amerikaanse president Franklin D. Roosevelt tijdens de Third World Power Conference, Constitution Hall, Washington DC, Verenigde Staten Possibly 1936 - 1939

This is a photograph by Wouter Cool of President Roosevelt during the Third World Power Conference in Constitution Hall, Washington DC. I wonder what it was like for Cool to be in that room? I can imagine him there with his camera, trying to capture the right moment. It is a little grainy but has a quality to it. Photographs are like that, aren't they? Records of time and place, and the way in which they are made, often leaves so much to the imagination.
