Title

Theodore Roosevelt and Uncle Sam

Subject

Theodore Roosevelt, American Politics

Description

In drawing this cartoon, Homer Davenport most likely felt that Theodore Roosevelt's hard work in serving the United States as president earned him the right to be in the presence of Uncle Sam as well as to receive the latter's approval. The fact that this cartoon has only realistic depictions of the two figures reflects the sincerity of the message the artist meant to convey.
