Shown head-and-shoulders and seated at a desk, facing the camera, Theodore Roosevelt appears here in a formal, businesslike pose rather than in action. The print carries a Washington, D.C., studio credit to Clinedinst and was registered for copyright in 1907, during Roosevelt's second term as president, when photographs of the chief executive were widely reproduced in newspapers and magazines. Portraits like this helped shape the public image of a president known for his energy and constant public presence, and the image is a useful example of how official likenesses were made and circulated in the early twentieth century.
