Former president Theodore Roosevelt stands with one arm raised as he addresses a crowd in Yonkers, New York, in 1910. By then he had left the White House and was traveling and speaking widely on politics, and his animated platform style made him a favorite subject for news photographers. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a commercial agency that sold pictures to newspapers and magazines. The title comes from the original caption, which has not been independently verified, so the specific occasion should be treated as approximate.
