This photograph shows President Theodore Roosevelt behind his desk speaking to his private secretary, William Loeb, Jr. The photograph was taken at the president's office in the West Wing. On November 5, 1902, Roosevelt became the first president to work from an office in the West Wing. Though the West Wing was built in 1902 during Roosevelt's time in office, the Oval Office was not built until 1909, during William H. Taft's administration. The rectangular room selected by Theodore Roosevelt as his office was expanded and replaced by a conference room in 1934. In 1969, the room that occupies the space was renamed the "Roosevelt Room" to honor the contributions of presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt in the creation and expansion of the West Wing. The original print for this image was a silver gelatin stereocard.
This political cartoon by Clifford K. Berryman shows a teddy bear, representative of President Theodore Roosevelt, pondering the question, "To Go or Not to Go?" It is dated March 2, 1909, which is two days before his term as president ended, and is emphasized by the moving van loading crates in the background. The crates read, "T.R. Africa" and "T.R. Africa/Handle With Care." This is likely in reference to the Africa expedition Roosevelt took just after he left office on behalf of the Smithsonian Institution to expand its holdings.
