Beautiful vintage original photograph signed boldly by Woodrow Wilson in black fountain pen and dated 1913. Wilson served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Wilson earned a PhD in political science at Johns Hopkins University, and served as a professor and scholar at various institutions before being selected as President of Princeton University, a position he held from 1902 to 1910. In 1910, he was the New Jersey Democratic Party's gubernatorial candidate and was elected the 34th Governor of New Jersey, serving from 1911 to 1913. He was the first Southerner elected as president since Zachary Taylor in 1848, and Wilson was a leading force in the Progressive Movement, bolstered by his Democratic Party's winning control of both the White House and Congress in 1912. He passed away back in 1924 making his signature one of the more coveted presidential scribes. Rare Woodrow Wilson signed photo dated to the first year of his Presidential term.
