The record ties this glass negative to Theodore Roosevelt at a place called the Senate in Cambridge, though the title comes from unverified Bain News Service caption data, so the exact occasion is uncertain. Cambridge is best known as the home of Harvard University, where Roosevelt studied as an undergraduate in the late 1870s, and any visit there would have drawn press interest. The glass plate format was standard for the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs of public figures in the early twentieth century, and these negatives now preserve how political life was recorded before halftone printing became routine.
