Turned to face right, Theodore Roosevelt appears in this head-and-shoulders portrait, a format well suited to the period's taste for direct, dignified likenesses. The print dates to about 1902, the year after he succeeded to the presidency following William McKinley's assassination, when public interest in the new chief executive was high. The copyright notice credits M.P. Rice of Washington, D.C., and copyrighted studio prints like this one were sold and reproduced widely, which helped make Roosevelt's face familiar across the country.
