The image shows the rear of an automobile with a license plate that reads "District of Columbia 1936" and the number "87-554." The car's spare tire cover prominently features a handwritten message in white chalk:

“This is the car
Hoover promised me
Roosevelt gave me
For God’s sake
Don’t let Landon take it away.”

The message refers to political events during the Great Depression and specifically mentions Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Alf Landon, making a pointed political statement connected to federal government relief programs of the era. The writing expresses support for Roosevelt and his New Deal policies while warning against potential actions by his political opponent, Alf Landon, in the 1936 presidential election.

The scene reflects the economic struggles and political sentiment of the time.

The message refers to Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Alf Landon, key political figures in the United States during the 1930s. This appears to be a political statement made during the time of the Great Depression and the New Deal, expressing support for Roosevelt and a warning against Landon, who ran against Roosevelt in the 1936 presidential election. The car has a District of Columbia license plate with the number 87-554 and the year 1936 on it. The image is in black and white, suggesting it is from the early to mid-20th century.

The image depicts a black tire cover with white writing on it, attached to the back of a car. The tire cover has the words "THIS IS THE CAR" written at the top in large letters, followed by several lines of smaller text that read:

  • "HOOVER: Promised ME"

Overall, the image appears to be a photograph taken in the 1930s or 1940s, based on the style of the car and the language used in the writing on the tire cover. The image may be related to a political campaign or event, given the mention of political figures such as Hoover, Roosevelt, and Landon.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image is a black and white photograph, likely from the 1930s. It focuses on the back of a car, specifically the spare tire and its covering. The central element is a spare tire cover with white chalk writing.

Key Details:

  • Spare Tire Cover Message: The most prominent feature is the message written on the spare tire cover. The writing is done in chalk and reads:
    • "THIS IS THE CAR"
    • "HOOVER Promised ME"
    • "ROOSEVELT Gave ME"
    • "FOR GODS SAKE"
    • "DON'T LET LANDON"
    • "TAKE IT AWAY"
  • Car Details: We see parts of the car, including:
    • A District of Columbia license plate (87-554) with the year "1936" visible.
    • The chrome bumper and other design elements, reflecting a classic car style of the era.
    • A chrome trim and what appears to be a rear window.
  • Context: The message on the tire cover and the license plate date (1936) strongly suggest the photograph was taken during the 1936 Presidential election, which pitted Franklin D. Roosevelt against Alfred Landon. The car owner is likely a supporter of Roosevelt.

Style and Technique:

The photograph has a simple, documentary style. The black and white format, the focus on the spare tire cover, and the slightly grainy texture are typical of photographs from this period.

Overall Interpretation:

The image serves as a piece of political commentary or a humorous plea for a voter during the 1936 US Presidential election. It shows the political sentiment of an individual, their support for Roosevelt and their aversion to Landon. It is a snapshot of the social and political history of its time.

Mistral Pixtral

The image shows the spare tire cover of a car with a handwritten message on it. The car appears to be from the mid-20th century, as indicated by the design and the license plate, which is from the District of Columbia and dated 1936. The message on the spare tire cover reads:

"This is the car
Hoover promised me
Roosevelt gave me
For God's sake
Don't let Landon
Take it away"

The message is a political statement referencing the economic policies and promises of three U.S. political figures: Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Alf Landon. It reflects the sentiment of the time, likely during the Great Depression era, where people were concerned about economic conditions and political promises related to their livelihoods and possessions. The car's license plate number is 87-554. The photo is credited to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University Art Museums).

"THIS IS THE CAR
HOOVER PROMISED ME

The car's license plate reads "87-554," and the vehicle appears to be from an older model, possibly from the mid-20th century, based on the design of the car and the style of the spare tire. The message on the spare tire seems to convey a political statement, referencing the presidency of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Alf Landon, likely in the context of the 1936 presidential election. The style of the handwriting and the informal tone of the message suggest a personal or grassroots expression rather than an official campaign poster.
