Magnificent vintage matte-finish 5.75 x 9 Rockwood portrait of Roosevelt in his Rough Rider uniform affixed to its original Rockwood photographer’s mount to an overall size of 8 x 10, signed and inscribed in black ink “To Capt. Jas. Madison Andrews ADC, from Theodore Roosevelt, Col. 1st USV Cavalry.” In very good condition, with scattered marks to the finish, slight silvering to dark areas of the image, and the signature and inscription showing a somewhat light appearance due to the nature of the ink. The portrait exhibits amazing detail—from the creases in Roosevelt’s gloves, to his buttons and collar, down to the buckle on his belt! Andrews had been a cavalry lieutenant in the early 1890s, serving in the Sioux campaign and Spanish-American War, and later became Roosevelt’s aide-de-camp. Historically significant and one of Roosevelt’s most famous photos.
