Seeks Liberty after 20 Years : LIFE'S PICTURES Yousuf Karsh of Ottawa, Canada, took the portraits of the men around the late President Roosevelt in LIFE's retrospective essay on pages 73 to 81, a monumental portrait gallery for LIFE of prominent men throughout the Roosevelt administrations. With an appointment often for no more than 15 minutes, KArsh spent long hours in preparation for every portrait, even to the point of digging out facts about a subject beforehand in order to start conversation. During such animated talks he caught characteristic poses of these historic figures of our time.
