Description
Jacqueline Kennedy: White House Green Room Gift Print Inscribed and Signed to Artist, Edward H. Lehman. 17" x 14" print of the White House Green Room. The print was reproduced from an original painting by Edward H. Lehman and is inscribed and signed by Jacqueline Kennedy to the artist, "For Edward Lehman, The President was the one who chose this picture to give to the White House staff this year. He loved it so much. Thank you for making him so proud of the Christmas presents he would give to those who made his life so happy these past two years. With deep appreciation, Jacqueline Kennedy. January 1964."Edward H. Lehman was an advertising artist and illustrator who was assigned by the Philadelphia Bulletin newspaper to sketch some rooms of the White House in advance of a CBS televised special on the First Lady's extensive renovations. When Mrs. Kennedy saw Mr. Lehman's published sketches in the newspaper, she called him to offer her admiration and obtain his original artwork. His art was so beloved by Mrs. Kennedy and the President that they used his Red Room painting as their 1962 Christmas gift print and, as this touching inscription written shortly after the President's assassination indicates, distributed this Green Room print to White House staff for Christmas 1963.
Condition: Light toning.
