Rather than a portrait, this picture offers a wide view down from a hill over a coastal town, with a bay and a scatter of islands stretching across the water. Panoramic views like this were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when photographers climbed nearby heights to capture a harbor town's streets, shoreline and boats in a single frame. The record does not name the town or connect the view to Theodore Roosevelt, so its place in this presidential grouping reflects the board's theme more than the scene itself. Look along the edge of the bay to see how the buildings meet the water.
