The title names a Roosevelt in London, though the record marks it as unverified, and the initial "K." most likely refers to Kermit, a son of Theodore Roosevelt, rather than the former president himself. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. With no date recorded, the glass plate format is one clue to its era, since glass negatives were largely replaced by film in the years after the First World War.
