This photograph shows Theodore Roosevelt's sons and a dog at the family's home, a setting that gives the picture a more informal feel than most official portraits of the president. The record names Nicholas, Archie and Quentin, but Nicholas Longworth was actually Roosevelt's son-in-law, so the caption may be inaccurate on that point. Archibald and Quentin were the younger Roosevelt boys around 1904, when the family was busy with the Oyster Bay estate, Sagamore Hill, and the White House. Roosevelt was famously fond of animals and filled his household with pets, so the dog is worth a second look. The photographer, Edward S. Curtis, is best known for his later work documenting Native American life.
