Quentin Roosevelt
- open edition print, 13” x 17"

(private collection)

Quentin Roosevelt was the youngest (and favorite) son of Teddy Roosevelt. Quentin served with the 95th Aero Squadron in WW1 and was shot down on July 14, 1918. The German high command, hoping to use this victory as a morale booster for the German people, made a postcard of the dead pilot and plane. However, this move backfired as the German people, who held Theodore Roosevelt with high respect, were impressed that his son died in active duty.

Printed on acid free stock with fade resistant inks, the print is signed by Russell Smith.
