Theodore Roosevelt's visit to the naval school in Rio de Janeiro is the subject here, a stop he made during his trip to South America in 1913, after leaving the presidency. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the large body of news photographs gathered by the Bain News Service in New York in the early twentieth century. The Library of Congress catalog notes that the title is unverified and was taken from information on the negatives or caption cards, so the exact occasion and the people pictured remain uncertain. Still, the image offers a glimpse of how Roosevelt's travels, with their official receptions and military visits, were recorded by press photographers of the era.
