McClernand on one of his battelfield visits (6 x 8); photo of a lithograph with caption "Arrival of Abraham Lincoln President Elect at the Astor House, New York" (7 x 7.5 approx.); Mary Lincoln (3.5 x 5.5) (verso says it is her wedding dress - it is not; she wore plain white muslin, no flowers, no veil; this is one of many "party dresses" during her time in Washington that got her in such financial trouble); photograph of the portrait of Lincoln painted by Dwight Eisenhower. The President gave reproductions of this painting to White House employees as Christmas gifts in 1953 (5 x 7); image of a B.&.O.R.R. engine and two cars. Soldiers at the back hold a Union flag; soldiers at the front hold a Confederate flag (8 x 10).

(7.5 x 9.5); copy photo of an image from the National Archives that purports to be one taken by Mathew Brady of Lincoln in Hanover Junction, PA on the way to Gettysburg (7.25 x 8 trimmed); photo of the watch purported to be a wedding gift to Mary Lincoln (4.25 x 5.75). Photo of Mount Vernon (8 x 10) Four photos associated with Calvin Coolidge: one of Calvin Jr. as a young boy, and three of John Coolidge, as a young man, a middle-aged adult and one of John and his wife in later middle age. Three of Nicholas Delano Seagraves, great grandson of FDR, one of just the toddler, one with his mother, who was FDR's grand-daughter, and one of mother, father and infant (various sizes). One image of Anne Eisenhower grand-daughter of Ike. Three images of Sargent Shriver with his children Tim and Maria (at about age 17 or so); one taken on a visit to JFK memorial; one photo includes wife/mother Eunice. These were from 1972 when Shriver ran with George McGovern. Photo of John Kennedy of San Francisco, CA, a cousin of the President. He told reporters he was besieged with phone calls during the campaign, but he still voted for fellow Californian, Nixon. Three images of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, two in uniform, one in civilian clothes (trimmed). Portrait of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson (6.5 x 8.5) Three of Nixon with friends and politicians: Edmund Brown (from 1962); Eddie Breslen (1960); and an image of C. Arnholt Smith "Nixon Friend" (1974). An image of Henry Kissinger visiting Mrs. Truman along with Mrs. Kissinger. Plus another image of Mrs. Nancy Kissinger with Nan Kempner, labeled "party at Met" (1982). Nine images of Richard Nixon with Leonid Brezhnev on his visit in June 1973. A couple of those photos are of Nixon and Brezhnev on the Presidential yacht, Sequoia. There is a 1969 image of one of Nixon's yachts as he was preparing to rename them (8.5 x 11). Photo of Nixon and Ford when the latter was selected as Vice President. Photo of Gerald and Betty Ford in 1977, in Washington to meet with Jimmy Carter. And photo of Jack Ford, the former President's son. Photo of Jimmy Carter in 1977 as he picks up his 30year-old grandson, Jason. Four images of George H.W. Bush, two with Barbara. One of these is the only color image in the group. All taken on the "campaign trail." Oliver North (1990) at a Senate fundraiser. Condition: Many trimmed and with cropping marks for publication (newspaper, most likely). A few with missing corners (such as the Lincoln watch), but for the most part not impacting the important parts. Nixon yacht seems to be fairly toned.
