The title, "Going to see Roosevelt," suggests a visit to Theodore Roosevelt, who had left the presidency in 1909 and was a prominent public figure by 1916. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, made this glass negative, and its files document many politicians, public events, and everyday city life from the early 1900s to the 1910s. The record does not confirm the location or the people shown, and the title itself is unverified, so the picture is best read as a glimpse of the public interest that followed Roosevelt during his years out of office.
