Roosevelt's time in France is the detail that sets this glass negative apart from the other Roosevelt portraits on the board. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified notes by the Bain News Service, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The best-documented French visit is his 1910 stay in Paris, when he delivered a well-known address at the Sorbonne. George Grantham Bain's agency sold news photographs of such public figures and events, and its glass negatives remain a valuable record of the period.
