On July 12, 1903, photographers from the Pach Brothers photographic studio traveled to Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay, New York, the home of President Theodore Roosevelt and his family, and the summer White House. There TR, his wife and children were taking some time off from the heat of a Washington summer to enjoy the breezes of Long Island Sound.
There Pach Brothers took a famous photograph of the group in the yard at Sagamore Hill, showing the President and First Lady surrounded by their children, from left to right: Quentin, President Roosevelt, Theodore Jr., Archie, Alice, Kermit, First Lady Edith, and Ethel.
This, an oversize 12 by 14 inch version of that photograph with the Pach Brothers imprint and 1903 date, is signed by all eight of them, including Quentin, who was killed in World War I and whose autograph is scarce. This photograph is a great rarity, as we can only recall seeing two other TR family signed photographs in all our decades in the field, and the last one that came by was almost twenty years ago.
