Theodore Roosevelt is shown here seated beside a large world globe, a pose that fits the global ambitions of his presidency, which ran from 1901 to 1909. The record dates the photograph to about 1905, the period when the United States was building the Panama Canal and expanding its role abroad. Roosevelt was a keen promoter of American power on the world stage, and the globe reads as a deliberate prop meant to signal that outlook. Turn-of-the-century studio portraits like this one were widely circulated, helping shape how the public pictured its leaders.
