EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures President Woodrow Wilson, a former professor turned politician, in his pursuit of reining in big business during the early 20th century. Depicted with a ruler instead of Theodore Roosevelt's famous "Big Stick". Wilson symbolizes his approach to tackling monopolies and corporate power through regulation rather than force. Created by American cartoonist Robert Carter around 1913-14, this artwork encapsulates the political climate of the Progressive Era. In this thought-provoking image, we witness Wilson's determination to address economic inequalities and protect consumers from unchecked commerce. As a member of the Democratic Party, he championed progressive policies that aimed to level the playing field for all Americans. By wielding a ruler as his weapon against big business interests, Wilson sought to establish fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices that hindered economic growth. Carter's artistry skillfully portrays two significant figures in American politics: Woodrow Wilson as an intellectual leader challenging corporate giants and Theodore Roosevelt as an advocate for using assertive tactics against them. This visual representation offers insight into the contrasting approaches taken by these influential men during their respective presidencies. As we reflect on this historical moment captured through Carter's lens, it serves as a reminder of how leaders can shape policy agendas and influence societal change. The impact of President Woodrow Wilson's efforts reverberates throughout America even today, leaving behind a legacy marked by progressivism and democratic ideals.
