The record dates this glass negative to April 2, 1918, and its title, "Roosevelt," comes from caption cards the Bain News Service used, so the catalog entry itself does not confirm the sitter. The gallery board links it to Theodore Roosevelt, who in 1918 was a former president and a loud critic of the administration's war policy. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers, made many such images, and its glass plates are now held by the Library of Congress.
