Comments and Context

Following his African Safari, Theodore Roosevelt gifted many of his friends and acquaintances mementos made out of some of his hunting trophies, including inkwells, wastepaper baskets, and items like this dinner gong. Ambassador Bacon was a longtime friend of Roosevelt, and had both served in his administration in the State Department and in his unofficial “Tennis Cabinet.”
