Here Theodore Roosevelt is shown holding a young granddaughter, a more private moment than the formal portraits that usually survive from his years in office. The print is dated around 1919, the year Roosevelt died at Sagamore Hill, his home in Oyster Bay, New York. By then he was a former president and the grandfather of many children, and family photographs like this one offer a glimpse of him away from the political battles that defined his public career. The catalog record is thin, so the exact occasion remains uncertain.
