Theodore Roosevelt stands at three-quarter length, facing right, while his wife, Edith, sits beside him in this portrait from about 1908, the final full year of his presidency. The print carries the copyright line of Waldon Fawcett, a Washington, D.C., photographer who made portraits in the capital during this decade. Official family portraits of the period were often posed this way, with the president standing and the first lady seated, to suggest both public authority and domestic calm. The pairing is worth noticing for how it presents Roosevelt as a family man as much as a politician.
