EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and poised portrait, Jessie Woodrow Wilson, the daughter of the 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, is depicted in The Bystander magazine in 1915, celebrating the birth of her first child, Francis Beatty Sayre, Jr. Born on January 17, 1915, Francis was the son of Jessie and her husband, Francis Graham Beatty Sayre, who was then serving as the United States High Commissioner to the Philippines. Jessie Wilson, born on September 26, 1882, in Wyoming, Ohio, was the eldest of President Wilson's six children. Her father's political career began in earnest when he was elected as the Governor of New Jersey in 1910, and he went on to serve as the President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Despite her father's prominent role in American politics, Jessie Wilson managed to maintain a relatively private personal life. In this image, Jessie Wilson is dressed in a stylish, high-collared gown, her hair swept back in an elegant updo. She gazes directly at the camera with a confident and serene expression, her hands delicately folded in her lap. The photograph captures the joy and pride that a new mother feels as she cradles her newborn baby in her heart, even if he is not physically present in the image. The birth of Francis Sayre, Jr. was a significant moment in the Wilson family's history, and this portrait in The Bystander serves as a testament to the happiness and love that surrounded the occasion. The image is a poignant reminder of the personal connections that underpin the larger historical narrative, and it offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a unique role in American history as the daughter of a president.
