The History of the White House Told Through Historic Photographs
(Nashville, TN)
As both the office and residence of the president of the United States,, the White House has been an integral part of the fabric of United States history. The story of this dynamic structure, designed by architect James Hoban, reflects both the life of the nation and the private lives of its famous occupants.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by Emily J. and John S. Salmon, Historic Photos of the White House rediscovers the fascinating past through nearly 200 rare photographs culled from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library; Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum; Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum; Nixon Presidential Library and Museum; Library of Congress; and National Archives and Records Administration, all showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
From the pre-Civil War era through the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations and into the 1970s, the White House emerges through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format.
“This book is unique for two reasons,” explains publisher Todd Bottorff, “the high quality of printing and binding and the fact that many have never seen these photos.”
Historic Photos of the White House is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities, legendary figures, and pivotal events across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
