Theodore Roosevelt with the Rough Riders at Montauk Point — 1898

This extraordinary 1898 cyanotype by Frances Benjamin Johnston portrays Theodore Roosevelt on horseback at Montauk Point, New York, during the celebrated Rough Rider period. Wearing his military uniform, Roosevelt sits prominently on his horse as an American flag rises behind him and a military encampment stretches into the distance.

The photograph retains the distinctive blue coloration of the historic cyanotype process, along with its original handwritten caption. Horse, rider, flag, tents, and distant figures combine to create a compelling document of Theodore Roosevelt and late nineteenth-century American military history.
