The view is taken from the street crowd looking up toward the balcony of the Providence Hotel in Brussels, so the picture is about the gathering below as much as the former president. Theodore Roosevelt traveled through Europe in 1910, after leaving the White House, and drew large crowds wherever he went. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified Bain News Service notes, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The photograph was made on a nitrate negative, a fragile early film base, and is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a major archive of news photography from the early 1900s.
