What sets this picture apart is its China setting, since Theodore Roosevelt's best-known hunting photographs come from his African safari. The record is undated, with only a bracketed guess of the 1910s, and its caption card lists "Pres.," "Hunting," and "China," so the date and the connection to Roosevelt should be treated as unconfirmed. It comes from the Kermit Roosevelt Collection, and it reflects an era when big-game expeditions drew wide press attention and were often recorded by the hunters' companions with cameras.
