Labeled simply "Mrs. T. Roosevelt," this 1900 glass negative most likely shows Edith Kermit Roosevelt, wife of Theodore Roosevelt, though the title comes from caption data that has not been independently verified. The picture dates from the year Theodore was governor of New York and was elected vice president, a period when the family drew steady press attention. It belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photography service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates record how such agencies covered public figures and their households.
