Rather than a portrait or a ceremony, this picture shows the working side of a dam: a concrete spillway taking shape beside a heap of broken rock left over from excavation. Its link to the Roosevelt presidency rests on the Reclamation Act of 1902, which he signed and which funded federal irrigation works in the arid West. Projects like this relied heavily on manual labor and animal power, and photographs of them record how much of the landscape was reshaped for farms and towns during his time in office.
