Few portraits show Theodore Roosevelt so plainly in a family setting. Here the former president sits in three-quarter view, holding his infant grandson, Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., who was born in 1916, the year this picture is dated to, while Master Richard Derby appears beside him. By then Roosevelt was a private citizen, writing and speaking on national preparedness, so the scene captures domestic life during a period when his public influence remained strong. The print was submitted for U.S. copyright registration, which is how it came to be preserved in the Library of Congress.
