Description

Extremely scarce 1963 White House Christmas card, issued after JFK's assassination

Extremely scarce official 1963 White House Christmas card, 6.75 x 5, printed on cream-colored stock and featuring an embossed presidential seal on the front, with red stripe below. Inside is a simple printed message: "The President and Mrs. Johnson wish you a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year." Very few of these somber cards were produced (estimated at 50 to 75) for the incoming President Johnson, who had just assumed office after the tragic assassination of JFK; it is considered to be among the rarest and most sought-after of all White House Christmas cards. In fine condition, with a small stain to the top edge of the front of the card.
