EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures former US President Theodore Roosevelt on a thrilling safari expedition in 1909. Standing proudly with a gun by his side, Roosevelt poses next to a magnificent bull elephant that he had successfully shot at Meru, Kenya. Known for his adventurous spirit and love for exploration, Roosevelt's travels took him through various countries including the Belgian Congo and Sudan during this particular expedition. A renowned hunter and explorer, Roosevelt's group managed to collect an astonishing number of over 11,000 animals throughout their journey, including more than 500 big game animals. This photograph was skillfully taken by his son Kermit Roosevelt, who accompanied him on this remarkable adventure. Theodore Roosevelt served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909 but was equally famous for his passion for nature and wildlife. His expeditions extended beyond Africa; he also embarked on an exploration of the Brazilian jungle in later years. This historical image showcases not only the fascinating life of Theodore Roosevelt but also provides insight into early 20th-century hunting practices and attitudes towards wildlife conservation. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving relationship with nature and sparks curiosity about the rich history behind such expeditions.
