Roosevelt's second inaugural address, delivered on March 4, 1905, is the occasion here, with the French ambassador stepping forward to congratulate him once the speech was over. The French ambassador in Washington at the time was Jean Jules Jusserand, who held the post from 1902 to 1925, and the scene shows the formal courtesy that surrounded a presidential inauguration. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a news photo agency whose glass negatives document public life in the early twentieth century. The title is taken from caption information that has not been independently verified.
