Real photo postcard, Theodore Roosevelt delivering a campaign speech, c. 1912. Smith Studio, unknown locality. Trace mounting residue. Roosevelt is shown from behind, addressing a large crowd. Unusual perspective, revealing the intimacy with which common citizens once interacted with their national leaders, as well as the folksiness of "old time" campaign rallies. Roosevelt has simply climbed on top of a table! He clearly has the rapt attention of his audience.
