Theodore Roosevelt sits in the library of his home at Oyster Bay, on Long Island, New York, a setting that shows the former president away from the official White House. The photograph dates to 1912, a year when Roosevelt was campaigning for the presidency again as the candidate of the Progressive, or "Bull Moose," Party after breaking with the Republicans. Its record comes from an old caption card, so the details of the scene and its exact circumstances are not fully confirmed, but the book-lined room reflects Roosevelt's well-known devotion to reading and writing.
