Lyndon B. Johnson White House Staff Christmas Gift Prints

Two impressive original oversized Hallmark presidential White House staff Christmas gift prints. One from 1965 features a work by artist Robert Laessig, entitled ‘Winter at the White House,’ bearing a pre-printed signature and sentiment from Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson. The president’s gift presentation folder is not included. Second gift print is from 1966 and features a different work from Laessig, depicting the North Portico of the White House and the American elm planted by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913, with a pre-printed Christmas sentiment which reads, “Our warmest best wishes for a joyous holiday season and a bright and peaceful new year—Lyndon Johnson—Lady Bird Johnson 1966.” Presidential Christmas gift is housed in its original folder and is accompanied by its seldom-seen parchment scroll providing historical background to the artwork. This White House staff gift print is also accompanied by its original envelope, complete with gold foil seal and blue ribbon. In very good condition, with scattered toning and foxing, as well as some mild rippling.
