1905 Theodore Roosevelt Sagamore Hill Stereoview w/ Charles Fairbanks Oyster Bay NY 3x7 Photo
Description:
Offered is an original 1905 stereoview featuring President Theodore Roosevelt alongside Senator (later Vice President) Charles W. Fairbanks, seated on the lawn of Roosevelt’s home at Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay, NY.
This exceptional black-and-white stereoscopic photograph captures a relaxed yet historically significant moment between two major political figures of the early 20th century.
