The caption on this glass negative reads only "Roosevelt," dated 1916, and the record itself flags that title as unverified, so the sitter is not confirmed by the record alone. The gallery files it under Theodore Roosevelt, who remained a prominent figure in Republican and Progressive politics after leaving the presidency in 1909, including during the 1916 campaign. The plate comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold pictures of public figures to newspapers, which reflects the steady press demand of the period. A surname alone on such negatives can refer to more than one member of a famous family, so the attribution is worth checking against other sources.
