The caption pairs the name of New York mayor William J. Gaynor with Theodore Roosevelt, and the record marks that title as unverified, so the sitter is uncertain. Gaynor led New York City from 1910 until 1913, when he died from complications of a 1910 assassination attempt by a disgruntled former city employee. The negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs of public figures to newspapers, so it likely belongs to that press trade rather than to a studio portrait.
