EDITORS COMMENTS
Theodore Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, is depicted in this cartoon print refusing to shoot a bear cub. Created in 1902 by Clifford K. Berryman, the lithograph captures a defining moment that would later give birth to the iconic Teddy Bear nickname. Roosevelt's expeditionary and conservative nature is evident as he draws a firm line against cruelty to animals. In an act of benevolence and Republican values, he refuses to harm innocent wildlife during his hunting endeavors. This satirical caricature showcases his refusal with humor and wit. As a skilled hunter himself, Roosevelt's decision not only displayed his compassion for animals but also set an example for future generations. His stance on conservation and preservation of wildlife became one of his lasting legacies. The image portrays America's love for game hunting while simultaneously highlighting the importance of responsible practices towards animal welfare. It serves as a reminder that even in moments where power could be exerted over defenseless creatures, kindness should prevail. This litho from Peter Newark American Pictures provides us with insight into both Roosevelt's character and the cultural context surrounding hunting at that time. The artwork encapsulates an important chapter in American history when one man's refusal to shoot a bear cub sparked global admiration and forever changed popular culture through the creation of the beloved Teddy Bear.
