EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at the White House on December 22, 1906, as President Theodore Roosevelt receives his annual Christmas turkey delivery. The turkey supplier, a humble yet integral figure in the presidential holiday tradition, stands proudly beside the large fowl, his hat in hand and a satisfied expression on his face. The snow-covered White House grounds add to the festive atmosphere, as the President and his family eagerly anticipate the holiday season. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical connection between the White House and the agricultural community, with this turkey supplier having served in his role for an impressive 30 years. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of a bygone era. The annual White House turkey delivery was a cherished tradition that began in the late 1800s, with each President receiving a bird as a gift from the farmers of the region. This tradition continued well into the 20th century, with the turkey supplier playing a vital role in ensuring the President's family enjoyed a traditional holiday meal. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the excitement and anticipation that filled the White House during the holiday season over a century ago. The image serves as a testament to the enduring connection between agriculture, tradition, and the presidency.
