Rather than the president or the crowd, this view turns the camera toward the platform itself, the structure built for the swearing-in. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency run by George Grantham Bain, sold pictures of news events to newspapers across the country. Theodore Roosevelt took office after William McKinley's assassination in September 1901 and was inaugurated in his own right on March 4, 1905, though this record does not give a date. Glass negatives from this period preserve fine detail in stands, bunting and the placement of officials that printed news photographs often lost.
