EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the meeting of US President William McKinley and Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt in 1899. Both men played crucial roles in shaping the nation during this time. William McKinley, a lawyer turned politician, was known for his expertise on tariffs and served as a Republican Congressman before being elected as President in 1896. He went on to win a second term but tragically fell victim to an anarchist's bullet at the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo on September 6th, 1901. Theodore Roosevelt, who had gained immense popularity through his exploits in the Spanish-American War, served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy before becoming McKinley's Vice-President. Following McKinley's assassination, he assumed office as President and was later re-elected for a second term in 1904. In this black and white portrait captured by an unknown creator, both men are seen seated outdoors. The image exudes an air of authority with their formal attire and distinguished expressions. It serves as a reminder of their contributions to American politics during one of its most transformative periods. This print is part of "100 Years in Pictures: A panorama of History in the Making" published by Odhams Press Limited London in 1951.
