Theodore Roosevelt returned to New York in June 1910, after roughly fifteen months abroad, a trip that included big-game hunting in Africa and a long stretch of European travel. This photograph catches him at the waterfront as he came ashore, a moment that drew large crowds and heavy press attention. The record links the image to the boats of the harbor, a reminder that arrivals by ship were major public events in the era before air travel. Roosevelt, who had left the presidency in 1909, remained one of the most recognizable public figures in the country.
