The record for this glass negative gives only the surname "Roosevelt" as its title, and the note says even that comes from unverified caption data from the Bain News Service, so the exact occasion and date are unknown. The subject is most likely Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president, whose board this picture sits on. Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied news photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s until about 1920, and its glass negatives record the public life of the period. Because the caption is uncertain, viewers should treat the identification as a likely reading rather than a confirmed fact.
