“Mechanical Drawing” is one of the 150 images that emphasize the importance of progressive education and vocational training at the school. Forty of the 150 photographs she produced in December 1899 appeared in the April 1900 issue of The American Monthly, timed to coincide with the opening of the Fair. Photographs of The Hampton Institute for display in Paris at the World’s Exposition in 1900 form one of Johnston’s most famous photojournalism assignments. President Theodore Roosevelt’s children Quentin and Archie provided some of her most appealing photo opportunities. Using her parents’ social connections and her own talent and initiative, Johnston earned the title “The American Court Photographer” by photographing the administrations of Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, and Taft between 18. She exhibited with the leading Pictorialist art photographers between 18 but returned to magazine and news work until about 1910, when then she turned to garden and architectural photography. Roosevelt’s seven surviving diaries provide a unique insight into the inner man.Ī talented artist and self-promoter of the first order, Frances Benjamin Johnston made a place for herself and paved the way for other women in the emerging field of photojournalism when she began making portraits and photographs for magazines and newspapers in 1889. The following diary entries lovingly describe his courtship, wedding, happiness in marriage, and his grief over the death of his wife Alice, after which he never spoke of the union again. His mother, age 50, succumbed to typhus, and his wife Alice died at the age of 22 giving birth to her namesake. On February 14, 1884, Theodore Roosevelt received a terrible blow-both his wife and mother died within hours of one another in the Roosevelt house in New York City.
Knowing that his love was reciprocated and that he could now “hold her in my arms and kiss her and caress her and love her as much as I choose” gave the enraptured young Roosevelt enormous satisfaction. On 13 February 1880, an ecstatic Roosevelt recorded his great joy, because the woman of his dreams, Alice Hathaway Lee, who he had actively courted for more than a year, had finally accepted his proposal of marriage. Theodore Roosevelt’s seven surviving pocket diaries provide a unique insight into the inner man. Bound by duties in Washington, D.C., Roosevelt sent these letters to his young son, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who could not yet read but would understand the pictures. But his family also spent time at Sagamore Hill, their Long Island residence, during Washington, D.C.’s sweltering summers in the era before air-conditioning. Roosevelt established a residence in the nation’s capital during his six years with the U.S. These letters reproduced here show an aspect of Roosevelt’s life seldom seen by the public. While the American people had ample opportunity to observe Roosevelt’s public side, he kept his personal relationships extremely private. He was at various times an outdoor sportsman, explorer, western rancher, and soldier, as well as an aggressive political leader and writer on history and public affairs. Though the huggable “Teddy bear” was named after him, Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), who served as the president of the United States 19, strove for a life that embodied his ideal of assertive masculinity.
