Here the subject is President Woodrow Wilson riding in an automobile with his wife, Edith, who sits beside him surrounded by roses. Automobiles were still a novelty for many Americans in the 1910s and 1920s, and a presidential car drew crowds and press attention wherever it went. The flowers suggest a ceremonial occasion or a gift, though the caption card does not say where or when the photograph was taken. Wilson served as president from 1913 to 1921, and the picture reflects the White House's growing public image in the motoring age.
