Description

The Presidents of the United States of America, now in its 18th edition, was first published by the White House Historical Association in 1964. The important stories of the lives and administrations of each of the 44 American presidents from George Washington through Barack H. Obama are illustrated by portraits in the White House collection. Gilbert Stuart's famous painting of George Washington, which was saved by Dolley Madison before the British burned the White House in 1814, now hangs in the East Room. The haunting image of John F. Kennedy, painted after his death by Aaron Shikler, can be seen in the Cross Hall. Portraits of founding fathers and political opponents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson hang together in the Blue Room. These and many other official presidential portraits are seen by White House visitors today and bring the presidents of the United States to life.
