Roosevelt and Taft are shown together in a horse-drawn carriage moving through snow, a setting that points to the inauguration of Taft in Washington on March 4, 1909. Traditionally, the outgoing president rode with the incoming one to the Capitol, and Roosevelt, who had handpicked Taft as his successor, followed that custom. The scene also shows how ceremonial travel in the capital still relied on horses before automobiles became common on its streets.
