Theodore Roosevelt on horseback with a rifle, outside New Castle, Colorado — Underwood & Underwood

Two arched-top photographs on a gray mount show Theodore Roosevelt astride a light-colored horse, holding a rifle across his thighs. He wears a broad-brimmed hat, spectacles, a neckerchief, and a cartridge belt. The horse stands beside a wire fence, with open ground and a steep, scrub-covered slope behind.

The printed caption identifies the rider as President Roosevelt and describes him as “after leaving Newcastle for the mountains—Colorado” on “the great bear hunt.” The view is numbered 7661 and bears the statement “Copyright 1905 by Underwood & Underwood.” Newcastle, now generally styled New Castle, Colorado, provides the location anchor; the precise stopping place outside town is not named. No bear or other member of the hunting party appears in the photograph.

The publisher’s vertical imprint reads “Underwood & Underwood. Publishers.” followed by “New York. London. Toronto-Canada. Ottawa-Kansas.” The opposite margin carries “Works and Studios” and “Arlington, N.J. Westwood, N.J. Washington, D.C.” beside the radiating “SUN SCULPTURE / U&U / TRADE MARK” emblem. These are the publisher’s business locations, not the location of this outdoor photograph. The reverse is blank.
