A bookplate, rather than a photograph or view, is what sets this piece apart: it is a small printed label meant to be pasted inside the front cover of a book to show ownership. This example bears the Latin inscription "Ex Libris," meaning "from the books of," followed by the name of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States and earlier a scholar and university president at Princeton. The design is signed by Carl S. Junge, a printmaker and bookplate artist, so the piece also reflects the early twentieth-century revival of personal book labels as a form of graphic art. Collectors of ex libris prints often value such signed examples for the way they combine a owner's identity with the craft of the engraver.
