29015Limited edition engraving by artist Frederick Reynolds signed by both the artist and Woodrow Wilson one of 300 numbered. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 24 inches. In near fine condition. Rare and desirable. Woodrow Wilson was an American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Born in Staunton Virginia he spent his early years in Augusta Georgia and Columbia South Carolina. Wilson earned a PhD in political science at Johns Hopkins University and served as a professor 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. In the 1912 presidential election Wilson benefited from a split in the Republican Party to win the presidency gaining a large majority in the Electoral College and a 42% plurality of the popular vote in a four-candidate field. 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. While in office Wilson reintroduced the spoken State of the Union which had been out of use since 1801. Leading the Congress that was now in Democratic hands he oversaw the passage of progressive legislative policies unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933. The Federal Reserve Act Federal Trade Commission Act the Clayton Antitrust Act and the Federal Farm Loan Act were some of these new policies. Having taken office one month after ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment Wilson called a special session of Congress whose work culminated in the Revenue Act of 1913 introducing an income tax and lowering tariffs. Through passage of the Adamson Act that imposed an 8-hour workday for railroads he averted a railroad strike and an ensuing economic crisis.3 Upon the outbreak of World War I in 1914 Wilson maintained a policy of neutrality while pursuing a more aggressive policy in dealing with Mexico's civil war. Wilson faced former New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes in the presidential election of 1916. By a narrow margin he became the first Democrat since Andrew Jackson elected to two consecutive terms. Wilson's second term was dominated by American entry into World War I. In April 1917 when Germany had resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and sent the Zimmermann Telegram Wilson asked Congress to declare war in order to make "the world safe for democracy." The United States conducted military operations alongside the Allies although without a formal alliance. During the war Wilson focused on diplomacy and financial considerations leaving military strategy to the generals especially General John J. Pershing. Loaning billions of dollars to Britain France and other Allies the United States aided their finance of the war effort. Through the Selective Service Act conscription sent 10000 freshly trained soldiers to France per day by the summer of 1918. On the home front he raised income taxes borrowing billions of dollars through the public's purchase of Liberty Bonds. He set up the War Industries Board promoted labor union cooperation regulating agriculture and food production through the Lever Act and granting to the Secretary of the Treasury William McAdoo direct control of the nation's railroad system. In his 1915 State of the Union Address Wilson asked Congress for what became the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 suppressing anti-draft activists. The crackdown was intensified by his Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer to include expulsion of non-citizen radicals during the First Red Scare of 1919-1920. Following years of advocacy for suffrage on the state level in 1918 he endorsed the Nineteenth Amendment whose ratification in 1920 provided an equal right to vote for women across the United States over Southern opposition. Wilson staffed his government with Southern Democrats who believed in racial segregation. He gave department heads greater autonomy in their management. Early in 1918 he issued his principles for peace the Fourteen Points and in 1919 following armistice he traveled to Paris promoting the formation of a League of Nations and concluding the Treaty of Versailles. Following his return from Europe Wilson embarked on a nationwide tour in 1919 to campaign for the treaty suffering a severe stroke. The treaty was met with serious concern by Senate Republicans and Wilson rejected a compromise effort led by Henry Cabot Lodge leading to the Senate's rejection of the treaty. Due to his stroke Wilson secluded himself in the White House disability having diminished his power and influence. Forming a strategy for re-election Wilson deadlocked the 1920 Democratic National Convention but his bid for a third-term nomination was overlooked. For his sponsorship of the League of Nations Wilson was awarded the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize the second of three sitting presidents so honored. unknown books

First American edition 8vo pp. 240; illustrated throughout much in color; original green cloth-backed decorative paper-covered boards printed label on upper cover gilt-lettered spine; fine. "The main focus is on the three most famous women binders of the period Sarah Prideaux Katharine Adams and Sybil Pye and the Guild of Women Binders but almost all the other women who exhibited bindings from about 1880 to 1920 are also included. Some of the less usual styles of binding such as those utilizing embroidery painting on vellum and modelled leather were revived by women binders in the late 19th century and these are covered separately. Since it would be unforgivable to omit from a book on women binders the thousands of women who laboured in the bookbinding trade another chapter is devoted to their work" Preface. <br/><br/> Oak Knoll Press and The British Library hardcover books
