Theodore Roosevelt's Summer Pastime: Solitaire with the GOP Elephant" Date: July 15, 1903 This illustration, published in Puck magazine on July 15, 1903, depicts a unique scene of Theodore Roosevelt engaging in a game of solitaire with an unexpected companion - the Republican elephant, symbolizing the Grand Old Party (GOP). The setting is the picturesque backdrop of the US Capitol and the White House, emphasizing the political significance of the moment. Roosevelt, known for his energetic and adventurous spirit, is shown sitting on a stool, wearing his signature hat and holding a playing card featuring his own likeness. The elephant, labeled as the GOP, sits beside him, also playing solitaire. The tray on the elephant's lap is filled with playing cards, each bearing Roosevelt's image or the inscription "Roosevelt," adding a playful touch to the illustration. Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, which spanned from 1901 to 1909, was marked by significant political and environmental achievements. This whimsical depiction of the president enjoying a quiet moment of solitude, even while in the company of a political symbol, highlights his multifaceted personality. The image in Puck magazine not only showcases Roosevelt's leisurely pastime but also underscores his enduring connection to the Republican Party during his time in office.
