The title makes a playful claim: Theodore Roosevelt agreed to pose before a Kodak only once. Kodak was the brand of Eastman Kodak's simple handheld cameras, which made snapshots popular with amateurs around 1900. Roosevelt was otherwise photographed mostly by professional studios, so a picture taken with a casual camera stood out. The subject line also lists military officers, a reminder that the president's public image was closely tied to the armed forces in the years after the Spanish-American War.
