Title:
Woodrow Wilson Signed Photograph – Original Portrait Signed by the 28th President – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic #85894509

Description:
An outstanding original sepia-toned photographic portrait of President Woodrow Wilson, boldly signed in pencil along the lower border, "Woodrow Wilson." The signature is clean, elegant, and well-positioned beneath the image, providing exceptional display appeal while remaining fully legible.

The formal portrait depicts Wilson in a dignified head-and-shoulders pose wearing a suit and pince-nez eyeglasses. The photograph bears the Harris & Ewing, Washington, D.C. studio credit in the lower right corner, identifying one of the premier photographic studios of the early twentieth century that frequently photographed presidents and other prominent government officials.

The photograph exhibits expected age-related wear, including moderate mounting remnants and adhesive residue visible on the reverse from prior album or frame mounting. These condition characteristics do not detract from the bold autograph or the impressive presentation of the image.

Historical Context:
Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. His presidency encompassed transformative domestic reforms, including the establishment of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as America's entry into the First World War. Following the war, Wilson became the principal architect of the League of Nations and was awarded the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote international diplomacy and collective security.

Original signed photographs of Wilson are among the most desirable presidential collectibles, particularly examples bearing clear signatures on formal photographic portraits produced during or near his presidency. Their combination of historical importance, visual appeal, and scarcity makes them enduring centerpieces in advanced presidential autograph collections.
