Here the president is shown reading his message to his Cabinet before it went to Congress, a moment that captures how a presidential address took shape behind closed doors. Theodore Roosevelt, who served from 1901 to 1909, used these meetings to review drafts with his department heads before formal submission. The photograph was taken around 1903 by B.M. Clinedinst, a Washington, D.C., studio that made many group portraits of officials in the capital during the early 1900s. Such images are useful for seeing how the executive branch looked and worked in the Progressive Era.
