Roosevelt on Illinois is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, and its title points to Theodore Roosevelt, who is listed on this board under presidents. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown; the title itself comes from unverified caption data that the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives or their cards. Bain's agency photographed public figures and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates were often sent to newspapers quickly, so the collection offers a useful view of how news images were made then.
