The title points to a Roosevelt-led hunting trip in China, and the caption card tags name the president, hunting, and animals, though the date is only a bracketed guess at the 1910s. The photograph comes from the Kermit Roosevelt Collection, which reflects the family's taste for big-game travel that was popular with wealthy American sportsmen in the early twentieth century. Hunting expeditions of that era often combined trophy collecting with the gathering of specimens for museums, and photographs like this one recorded both the sport and the landscapes and animals involved. Because the record is unverified, the exact location, participants, and timing are best treated as open questions.
