The national him by Gordon Ross, 1910

Behold Theodore Roosevelt as a literal giant! In this vibrant 1910 cover for Puck magazine, the former president is depicted as a colossal figure striding through the water, dressed in a patriotic Uncle Sam outfit complete with a star-spangled vest and striped trousers. Tiny crowds on the shore cheer him on, waving flags, emphasizing his larger-than-life personality and political dominance. The bold red 'PUCK' logo screams across the top, announcing this special 'Roosevelt Number' dedicated to the man who famously carried a 'big stick' and shaped American history.
