Theodore Roosevelt is shown seated in a rowboat with an oar in hand, a candid outdoor moment that departs from the formal portraits usually made of a president. Dated to about 1905, the photograph reflects his well-known enthusiasm for vigorous outdoor exercise, which he pursued throughout his life, from hunting and hiking to rowing. The Library of Congress catalogs it among early twentieth-century photographic prints, and its copyright notation suggests it was registered for publication. The picture is a useful record of how Roosevelt was presented to the public as an active, outdoorsy leader.
