Here the focus is Theodore Roosevelt himself, shown entering the Capitol for his inauguration, which the caption card dates to about 1905. He had taken office after William McKinley's assassination in 1901 and won a term of his own in 1904, so this ceremony marked his first inauguration as an elected president. Photographs of official occasions like this one recorded the crowds, dress, and formality of Washington at the time. The date comes from older caption information, so it should be read with that in mind.
