Paint set used by Archie Roosevelt, son of Edith and Theodore Roosevelt, around 1903.

Silk calendar for 1904. To control press interest in her family, the first lady instructed her social secretary to release posed photographs for publication in newspapers and magazines. Commercial products depicting the first family were also available to an admiring public.
