The picture shows a crowd gathered for Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in Chicago, a city he visited often during his years in public life, as a candidate, a former president, and a campaigner. Its catalog record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service, so the exact occasion is not confirmed. The Bain agency, based in New York, sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives capture the crowds, dress, and street scenes of that period. Looking closely at the faces and the edges of the crowd can tell you a good deal about how a presidential arrival drew the public.
