- Reason
- I don't know how well she's known at FPC, but Penny Richards is a phenomenal researcher who's constantly finding interesting people that deserve more attention to write articles about, and, as such, when she suggested this photo of Jacobson, I was determined to do it. Then took two weeks to do so because I really don't know why; probably made sense at the time. Anyway! It's an excellent photo. I've cropped it a bit - while providing the restored full-size image as well - since photographs of this era were pretty routinely cropped for publication, and I didn't think the bottom half of a framed picture and such were really intended for the final shot. And, as I said, full size image is readily available.

- Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political seems by far the best. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture doesn't feel as political as some appointments, but it is a political appointment, and everything else she did was clearly political.
