EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of President Theodore Roosevelt, at the tender age of five on June 17, 1902. Seated confidently on a pony, Quentin exudes a sense of adventure and vitality. The image was taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, known for her extensive documentation of historic sites and buildings across the United States. Quentin Roosevelt, born in 1897, would grow up to become a pilot during World War I. Tragically, he was the only child of a U.S. President to have died in combat. This photograph, taken long before his military service, offers a glimpse into his early life and the carefree days spent at The White House in Washington D.C. The image is a testament to the bond between boy and horse, a common theme in American history and culture. The country setting, with open fields and trees in the background, adds to the idyllic atmosphere. The photograph is a precious piece of heritage art from the early 20th century, reflecting the simplicity and charm of a bygone era. Frances Benjamin Johnston's masterful composition and use of light and shadow create a timeless image that continues to captivate viewers. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of photographic prints from the Library of Congress, 1900-1910, and is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, photography, or the lives of the Roosevelt family.
