This is a frontal, head-and-shoulders portrait of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president, dated circa August 13, 1902, about a year after he took office following William McKinley's assassination. The print's copyright notation suggests it was registered for commercial distribution, a common route for presidential portraits that circulated widely in newspapers, magazines and parlors. Roosevelt was known for his vigorous public image, and portraits like this one, with a direct gaze and plain background, helped build the public face of his presidency. The record does not name the photographer, but the image reflects the studio portraiture of the period.
