EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on August 7, 1916, captures the intense gaze and solemn demeanor of President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson, dressed in a formal suit and wearing glasses, sits with a serious expression, his hands resting on the arms of his chair. At the time of this photograph, Wilson was in the midst of his re-election campaign for a second term as President of the United States. Born in Staunton, Virginia, in 1856, Wilson served as Governor of New Jersey before being elected to the presidency in 1912. A Democrat and a progressive, Wilson is best known for his leadership during World War I and his efforts to promote peace through the League of Nations. The portrait was taken during a session at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., where Genthe was commissioned to photograph a number of prominent political figures. The image is a testament to the skill of Genthe as a photographer, capturing the essence of Wilson's character and the political climate of the time. The photograph is significant not only for its historical value but also for its artistic merit. The use of contrasting light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, while the crispness of the image and the clarity of Wilson's features make for a compelling and enduring portrait. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of American political history or fine art photography, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Woodrow Wilson and the pivotal role he played in shaping the course of American history in the early 20th century.
