Theodore Roosevelt is shown seated in a rowboat, working the oars, a casual outdoor moment that departs from the formal portraits usually associated with a sitting president. Roosevelt was a lifelong enthusiast of vigorous outdoor activity, and images like this one, dating to about 1905 during his first full term, helped present him as an active, physically fit leader to the public. The picture is one of a group of early twentieth-century photographic prints in the Library of Congress collection, and its record notes a U.S. Copyright Office registration, which suggests it was made for wide circulation.
