President Theodore Roosevelt bending over camp kettles, Hugo, Colorado — Underwood & Underwood

President Theodore Roosevelt bends over a row of camp kettles and open pots, a plate in one hand. At left, a man in a broad-brimmed hat, vest and tall boots holds a shallow pan; another man bends toward the cookware at right. Several onlookers stand close behind them against a canvas shelter, while smoke drifts across the foreground.

The printed caption reads: “Pot luck” with the “boys”—President Roosevelt’s cowboy breakfast at Hugo, Colorado. It establishes both the occasion and the town; the other men are not named. The accompanying notice reads “Copyright 1903 by Underwood & Underwood.”

Two arched-top photographs are mounted side by side on a gray card with rounded corners. The publisher’s imprint reads “Underwood & Underwood, Publishers. / New York, London, Toronto-Canada, Ottawa-Kansas.” Opposite are “Works and Studios / Arlington, N.J. Westwood, N.J.” and the “SUN SCULPTURE / U&U / TRADE MARK” sunburst. The reverse carries no printed text or legible inscription.
