Signed book: The White House: A Historic Guide. Special limited edition of 75 copies (this being No. 22a). Washington, DC: White House Historical Association, 1962. Red leather hardcover, 7.25 x 10.5, 129 pages. Signed and inscribed on the limitations page, as president, “For David Bell, with warm personal regards–John Kennedy, Christmas 1962,” and “Jacqueline Kennedy.” Light toning to edge of signed page, partial separation along front joint, a bit of light rubbing to boards, and some small areas of surface wear and chipping along spine, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a swatch of red fabric removed from the White House Red Room, during Jackie’s 1962 renovations, and an unsigned color glossy photo of the Kennedys at the Christmas party.
President Kennedy originally named Bell as his budget director but in December 1962 appointed him as director of the Agency for International Development. On December 12 of that year, President and Mrs. Kennedy hosted their official Christmas party, during which the couple presented members of the Kennedy administration with these red leather-bound copies of the Executive Mansion’s story, the publication of which was overseen by Mrs. Kennedy as part of her restoration and preservation of the White House. A wonderful link to the era of Camelot and one of the first lady’s most memorable contributions.
