EDITORS COMMENTS
T. ROOSEVELT: TEDDY BEAR. "Drawing the Line in Mississippi": The print captures a significant moment in American history, showcasing the iconic invention of the Teddy Bear by cartoonist Clifford Berryman in 1902. Inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt's compassionate act during a bear hunt in Mississippi, this image symbolizes Roosevelt's refusal to shoot a defenseless cub. In this scene, we witness an early 20th-century hunting expedition unfolding amidst the picturesque backdrop of Mississippi. A group of men, including President Roosevelt himself, are depicted with rifles slung over their shoulders as they traverse through the dense wilderness of the South East. However, it is President Roosevelt who stands out from his companions due to his remarkable decision that would shape popular culture for years to come. As he encounters an innocent cub nestled among nature's beauty, he resolutely draws a line between man and beast – refusing to harm such innocence. This photograph not only showcases Roosevelt's character but also highlights his progressive political acts during the turn of the century. As leader of both Republican Party and Progressive Era movements, he embodied compassion and conservationism while challenging traditional notions. The T. Roosevelt: Teddy Bear print serves as a reminder that even powerful figures can display empathy towards vulnerable creatures. It immortalizes an important historical event that forever changed our perception of bears and gave birth to one of America's most beloved toys.
