Description
This print reproduces a 1904 photograph of Theodore Roosevelt by the Pach Brothers. The New York firm photographed presidents, graduates, and public men for decades. The shop description is a head-and-shoulders, facing slightly left.
The year 1904 is Roosevelt’s election year, when he won a term in his own right after succeeding McKinley. Pach Brothers portraits circulated as cabinet cards and prints. This is a studio photograph, not Sargent’s 1903 oil and not Coburn’s 1907 close-up. The Library of Congress holds Pach Brothers presidential photographs from this period.
Pach Brothers studios on Broadway supplied a repeatable camera likeness in the year Roosevelt beat Alton B. Parker.
This listing is a contemporary print from the photograph, not a vintage print from the sitting. Choose fine art paper, luster photo paper, or mounted canvas.
