Inspired by the "president" books we designed for Sperling, I took special note of all the little artifacts they had displayed, like these campaign ribbons:
Also funny was Colonel Roosevelt's "last pencil" on his expedition down the "River of Doubt" (1914). It's unclear whether this was the last pencil he had on the expedition, or the last pencil he used to write the book. I'm guessing it's the former, but the envelope totally makes the display:
Of course no exhibit about TR would be complete without some taxidermy animals. It's weird to be looking at a lion who's been dead over 100 years.
