This is a program in the form of a 10 page book, bound in cloth with the cover engraved in gold and a blue ribbon bookmark, for a dinner for gubernatorial candidate Woodrow Wilson, held by the Democratic Union of New Jersey, October 10, 1910. The second page of this 7 by 9 inch book contains a photographic portrait of Wilson in his academic gown, surrounded by important New Jersey Democrats including former President Grover Cleveland and General George B. McClellan, and is signed at the top by Wilson. Other pages include the menu, toasts to be drunk, songs to be sung, and another photo page with engravings of Democratic Presidents starting with Thomas Jefferson.
Signed pictures of Wilson almost always show him later in his career; this is the first we’ve ever had picturing him as an academic.
