Roosevelt is shown examining a rifle before it is presented to a chief named Akawahki, in a poster for the 1910 Selig film *Hunting Big Game in Africa*. The poster dates to 1910, the year Roosevelt returned from a long hunting expedition in East Africa that he undertook after leaving office in 1909, a trip that drew wide attention in American newspapers. Film companies were quick to trade on that interest, and the poster leans on the former president's fame to sell the picture. The caption details come from an old card and have not been independently verified.
