Woodrow Wilson sits for this head-and-shoulders study, turned squarely toward the camera, at a moment when he was president of the United States and seeking reelection. The record dates the photograph to about 1916, a year when Wilson's campaign leaned heavily on his success in keeping the country out of the war in Europe. The notation of a U.S. Copyright Office entry suggests the portrait was registered for publication, which was common for official and political images of the period. Frontal portraits like this one were built for newspapers and campaign material, where a clear, steady gaze gave the president an air of composure.
