Figure 1.--This is one of the best known photographs of the Roosevelt family. Colorized postcards usually show the tunic suit as yellow. This chromolithograph shows the tunic as pink. We are not sure what the actual color was.

Quentin and Archie are the best chroinicled of the Rossisevelt childrem because they were the youngest. As a result they were the subject of enormnous press interest. And just as the Roosevelts moved into the White House, the technology of photo lithougraphy had reduced the price of printing photoigraphs, thus you begin to see photograpohs in both newspsapers and magazines. Quentin was often depoicted wearng sailoir suits ad tunic suits. Thus the public was delighted with images of the boys. We see Quentin wearng a tunic suit. Colorized postcards usually show the tunic suit as yellow. We notice a chromolithograph showing the tunic as pink. We are not sure what the actual color was.
