Theodore Roosevelt appears delivering an address from the steps of the U.S. Capitol, and the caption card links the photograph to an inauguration. The date of circa 1905 fits his second inaugural in March 1905, after he won the 1904 election in his own right, having first taken office in 1901 upon William McKinley's assassination. Inaugural ceremonies drew large public crowds, and images like this one show how a president addressed those gathered below the Capitol. Because the record rests on older, unverified notes, the exact occasion is best read as a likely match rather than a confirmed one.
