Woodrow Wilson and Prize Rooster Winners

This photograph is of President Woodrow Wilson with the "Big Four" prize roosters representing the premiers of the victorious powers in World War I outside the main door to the Executive Offices, later known as the West Wing. These roosters were purchased in France and, with a fifth bird (also depicted) that Wilson purchased, would be sold at auction to benefit highway-building in Alabama.
