Theodore Roosevelt is the figure this glass negative is titled for, shown receiving congratulations, though the record gives no date or occasion. The Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain, sold photographs of politicians, public figures and news events to newspapers, and its negatives document Roosevelt across his years as governor, vice president and president. Because the title comes from caption cards that were not verified, the scene is best read as a typical moment of public attention around him rather than a documented event.
