Theodore Roosevelt is pictured carrying a boat with another man while a third carries the oars, a record of hands-on outdoor work rather than a formal portrait. Roosevelt, president from 1901 to 1909, built a public image around vigorous outdoor life and was a lifelong enthusiast of hiking, hunting, camping and rowing. Images like this one, made around 1905, showed a chief executive who preferred physical activity to ceremony.
