EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating election poster from 1903 showcases Theodore Roosevelt as the Apostle of Prosperity. The colorful lithograph, created by an anonymous American artist, depicts Roosevelt in a three-quarter length portrait with his iconic moustache and charismatic smile. As the twenty-sixth President of the United States, Roosevelt is portrayed as a farmer and conservative idealist who symbolizes growth and abundance. The image beautifully captures Roosevelt sowing seeds in a utopian landscape, representing his commitment to cultivating prosperity for all Americans. With his trust-busting policies and emphasis on fair play (known as the Square Deal), he aimed to create an environment conducive to economic growth while ensuring social justice. This satirical portrayal highlights both Roosevelt's political prowess and his dedication to Republican values. Known for speaking softly but carrying a big stick, he embodied strength combined with diplomacy on the international stage. The poster serves not only as a representation of one man's presidential campaign but also reflects broader themes such as agriculture, plenty, and American ideals. It evokes nostalgia for an era when politics was seen through rose-tinted glasses—a time when hope flourished alongside crops in America's heartland. Preserved within this private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history—an enduring reminder of Theodore Roosevelt's impact on American society during his tenure as President from 1901-1909.
