“Authentic fashions of the First Ladies of the White House are illustrated in these fine photographs, which show the evolution in the styles women have worn in America from the early days of the Republic down to our own time. The latest dress in the collection is that worn by Mrs. Johnson at the inaugural ball in 1965. All the others are reproductions of the costumes on exhibit in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. With the illustrations, Randle Bond Truett, author of several books on Washington, D. C., gives intimate biographies of the First Ladies who officiated at the White House and sketches of the background of each era.” ♡ Very Good VTG condition: The book has all its pages and I did not find any writing on them. The dust jacket shows visible signs of wear from use and age but the inside book is in very good condition. ♡ © 1954
