President Roosevelt and hunters on horseback, Rocky Mountains, Colorado — H. C. White Co.

President Theodore Roosevelt sits at the right on a pale horse, wearing spectacles, a broad-brimmed hat and a field jacket. Two companions ride dark horses beside him, the nearer animal distinguished by a white blaze. Saddles and reins fill the foreground, while leafless scrub opens onto a broad valley beneath snow-streaked mountain ridges.

The printed caption identifies Roosevelt’s fellow hunters as Dr. Chapman and Mr. Stewart and places the scene in the “Rocky Mts., Col.” It does not name a more precise locality or distinguish the companions by their positions. The publisher’s view number, 9938, appears immediately before the caption.

The paired, arched-top photographs are mounted on a dark olive-brown card with rounded corners. H. C. White Co.’s imprint gives general offices in North Bennington, Vermont, and branches in New York, Chicago and London. The opposite margin carries the “PERFEC” STEREOGRAPH trademark and the notice “Patented April 14, 1903. Other Patents Pending.” The lower margin reads “Copyright 1905 by H. C. White Co.” This is a copyright date rather than a separately documented date of exposure. The reverse is blank.
