The portrait shows Roosevelt in half profile his strong jaw featured prominently.</p><p>The sitting was a jovial one with Roosevelt remarking "Are you trying to make me believe that a distinguished photographer like you doesn't have more impressive equipment Did your regular lamps fall into the ocean when you crossed the Atlantic"</p><p>Marcel Sternberger's subjects generally more used to a formal studio environment frequently remarked on the simplicity of his process. Sternberger used a handheld camera a plain black backdrop and simple lighting. This uncomplicated direct approach defined Sternberger's work: it allowed him to focus on the emotional state and character of the sitter rather than extraneous details.</p><br /><p>Gelatin silver print 16 x 20 in.

(ROOSEVELT, Theodore) RIIS, Jacob A
THE BATTLE WITH THE SLUM
New York: The Macmillan Company 1902. First Edition. Hardcover. Minor wear to covers. Near Fine. Second Printing in publisher's original decorated blue cloth. Illustrated. This copy is SIGNED "with the best wishes of/Theodore Roosevelt/Dec 1906." Jacob Riis a significant contributor to the cause of urban reform in the United States of America at the turn of the twentieth century was among the most dedicated advocates for America's oppressed and downtrodden. He arrived in New York from his native Denmark at the age of 21 in 1870. A pioneer in photojournalism Riis photographed and wrote about the slums and tenements of a New York in the dawn of a new century. Riis came to Roosevelt's attention through his 1890 book HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES. As Commissioner of the New York City Police Department Roosevelt accompanied Riis on his evening travels through the slums and witnessed firsthand the inhumane conditions endured by many of New York's inhabitants. In his 1901 book MAKING OF AN AMERICAN Riis wrote of Roosevelt: "It could not have been long after I wrote HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES that he came to the Evening Sun office one day looking for me. I was out and he left his card merely writing on the back of it that he had read my book and had 'come to help.' That was all and it tells the whole story of the man. I loved him from the day I first saw him; nor ever in all the years that have passed has he failed of the promise made then. No one ever helped as he did. For two years we were brothers on Mulberry Street." Roosevelt in turn wrote of Riis after his death: "It is difficult for me to write of Jacob Riis only from the public standpoint. He was one of my truest and closest friends. I have ever prized the fact that once in speaking of me he said 'since I met him he has been my brother.' I have not only admired and respected him beyond measure but I have loved him dearly . and I mourn him as if he were one of my own family." <br/><br/> The Macmillan Company hardcover
