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.


Sagamore Hill, often referred to as the “Summer White House,” served as Roosevelt’s residence and a center of political activity during his presidency. This image offers a rare and personal glimpse into that setting—away from Washington and within the heart of Long Island.


Stereoviews were designed for viewing through a stereoscope, producing a remarkable three-dimensional effect, bringing this historic outdoor scene to life.
