Theodore Roosevelt appears at a polo match, a fast and costly sport that drew wealthy players and crowds in the early 1900s. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, assembled by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures to newspapers. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact occasion is uncertain. Roosevelt, president from 1901 to 1909, was among the most photographed public figures of his day.
