EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in American history as the 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, makes his way to the White House following his re-election in 1916. The image, taken circa 1918, shows Wilson seated in the back of an open car, bundled up against the cold winter weather. Surrounded by a sea of well-wishers and onlookers, the President waves warmly to the crowd, his expression one of determination and resolve. Wilson's second term in office was marked by significant challenges both at home and abroad. Domestically, he faced opposition to his progressive policies, particularly his efforts to reform the federal government and expand the role of the federal government in American life. Abroad, the United States entered World War I in 1917, and Wilson worked tirelessly to lead the country through the conflict and promote peace negotiations. Despite these challenges, Wilson's popularity remained high, and this photograph captures the enthusiasm and excitement of the American people as they welcome their beloved leader to the White House for another term. The image is a testament to the enduring power of the presidency and the deep connection between the American people and their leaders. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online is a treasure trove of historical photographs, and this image of Woodrow Wilson's inaugural procession is just one of the many gems in their collection. It offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into American history and the people who shaped it.
