"Jefferson scholar Cunningham presents a first look at a ubiquitous piece of Americana----the presidential portrait as it appears in publications and on artifacts from the founding of the republic to the time of Lincoln. He explores the evolution of the presidential portrait set or gallery, the symbols that came to be associated with the presidency, the portraiture itself, and presidential mourning memorabilia. There are also chapters on the presidents as represented on coins and in less than reverent caricatures. Cunningham concludes that all this popular imagery has served to elevate the status of the presidency and to reenforce the idea of the president as the center and preserver of the Union. The book is amply illustrated with black-and-white photos and color plates. It is suitable for history and/or art collectors as well as collectors of Americana." Heavily Illustrated with examples. Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior; all lettering/decoration bright. NO REMAINDER MARK; NOT X-LIBRARY. SELDOM PRESENT UNCLIPPED DJ in Mylar Protector.
