1951Best.-Nr. 1604641951. Commemorating the American fallen A compelling album apparently made by the family of a fallen serviceman and therefore unique commemorating Eisenhower's presentation of the Roll of Honor to St Paul's Cathedral. The roll lists the 28000 American soldiers stationed in Britain who gave their lives in the Second World War. The album includes large-format photographs of the military procession to the ceremony; attendees entering the cathedral including Churchill Mountbatten Attlee the Queen Mother and Princess Elizabeth Eisenhower and Curtis LeMay; photographs of the service including the congregation singing hymns and the sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury; and Eisenhower leaving the Cathedral. The ceremony was held on Independence Day. Eisenhower delivered a message: "Each name inscribed in this book is a story of personal tragedy and a grieving family; a story repeated endlessly in white crosses girdling the globe. The Americans whose names here appear were part of the price that free men have been forced a second time to pay in this century to defend human liberty and rights". The album includes a copy of a page from the roll listing names from Hiltabidle to Hitchings - presumably the album was made by the family of someone listed there. We could trace no other similar album. In 1958 the American Memorial Chapel was completed in a part of the cathedral that a bomb had hit in 1940. The roll now resides there and a page is turned each day to show different names. Landscape quarto album 318 x 419 mm. Four letterpress leaves partly printed in gilt comprising title excerpt from the Archbishop of Canterbury's address Eisenhower's introduction to the Roll of Honour and copy of page from roll all with acetate covers. Tan leatherette front cover lettered in blind "Commemoration Service - St. Paul's Cathedral - July 4. 1951." cord-bound cord recently renewed 33 heavy card leaves with 28 mounted black and white silver gelatin press photographs 203 x 254 cm most captioned by hand. Binding neatly restored and consolidated the photographs in sharp unblemished condition slight discolouration around letterpress leaves. In very good condition. hardcover
1953Best.-Nr. 1581571953. A notable portrait presented to a prominent early supporter Inscribed by the president "For Senator William A. Purtell with best wishes and warm regard from his friend Dwight D. Eisenhower"; an appealing image of a pensive Eisenhower by renowned Capitol Hill photographer George Tames taken in the White House as Eisenhower announced the truce ending the Korean War. Purtell 1897-1978 served as Republican Senator for Connecticut in 1952 and from 1953 to 1959. He was one of the earliest Connecticut Republicans to support Eisenhower's run for the presidency. In turn Purtell's success in the November 1952 Connecticut senatorial election rode on the back of the strong public support for Eisenhower in the simultaneous presidential election; Purtell allied himself closely to Eisenhower's campaign platform. "A strong supporter of President D. Eisenhower's policies Senator Purtell was also a staunch American who liked to say: 'we have the finest country the finest system of society and the finest government in the world'" New York Times obituary 1 June 1978. The photographer George Tames 1919-1994 worked for the New York Times on Capitol Hill and in Washington from 1945 to 1985 taking many shots which became iconic. He took the photograph after Eisenhower's joint radio and television address to the nation announcing the signing of the Korean Armistice 26 July 1953. Interestingly this image would have been familiar to millions of Americans through its use on the 6 cent stamp issued in 1970. Official photograph taken by George Tames 358 x 280 mm copyright notice to verso stating reproduction by the Signal Corps of the US Army. Dark oak frame with conservation acrylic glazing 427 x 351 mm. Slight cockling inscription a little faded but still clearly legible very good. unknown

1953Best.-Nr. 131321953. Eisenhower Dwight D. The President's First Birthday in the White House 1953 commemorates Eisenhower's first birthday after assuming office as the 34th President of the United States. Produced during the first year of an administration led by the former Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II the plate explicitly associates Eisenhower with "love and peace" through a Pennsylvania Dutch intertwined dove motif. Its inscription places those themes within White House presentation culture at the beginning of his presidency when Eisenhower's military reputation and the Cold War pursuit of peace were central elements of his public image. Presidential commemorative china plate dated October 1953 approximately 10 1/2 inches in diameter with gold rim. The face bears an intertwined dove design accompanied by the inscription "The President's First Birthday in the White House" and Eisenhower's printed signature. The reverse explains the imagery: "This plate commemorates President Eisenhower's first birthday in the White House. The Pennsylvania Dutch symbol of the intertwined dove signifies love and peace for which our President firmly stands." The inscriptions identify the object specifically with Eisenhower's first presidential birthday rather than with a general White House commemorative occasion. Eisenhower entered the White House in January 1953 after a military career culminating in his command of the Allied invasion of Western Europe and the plate was issued during the first year in which that wartime commander occupied the presidency. Its dove emblem and accompanying explanation record the language of peace attached to Eisenhower's presidential image during the early Cold War. In excellent condition. A dated White House presentation object preserving the imagery and language selected to commemorate Eisenhower's first birthday as president. unknown

1958Best.-Nr. 69212Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1958. Presumed first edition/first printing. Second volume in series. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Corners bumped. xxxiv 1220 pages. Includes index. Frontis. List of items The was published by the Federal Register Division National Archives and Records Service General Services Administration. From Wikipedia: "The Public Papers of the Presidents contain the papers and speeches of the Presidents of the United States that were issued by the Office of the Press Secretary. The series constitutes a special edition of the Federal Register. The Public Papers of the Presidents series was begun in 1957 in response to a recommendation of the National Historical Publications Commission. An extensive compilation of messages and papers of the Presidents covering the period 1789 to 1897 was assembled by James D. Richardson and published under congressional authority between 1896 and 1899. Since then various private compilations have been issued but there was no uniform publication comparable to the Congressional Record or the United States Supreme Court Reports. Many Presidential papers could be found only in the form of mimeographed White House releases or as reported in the press. The Commission therefore recommended the establishment of an official series in which Presidential writings addresses and remarks of a public nature could be made available. The Commission s recommendation was incorporated in regulations of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register issued under section 6 of the Federal Register Act 44 U.S.C. 1506 which may be found in title 1 part 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations." The Public Papers series is compiled and published by the Office of the Federal Register National Archives and Records Administration. Each volume generally covers a 6-month period of a given administration and presents content in chronological order with headings providing the dates of the documents or events. In instances when the release date differs from the date of the document itself the date of public release is shown in the textnote. Remarks are checked against an audio recording if available or read aloud against official transcripts if no audio source is available and issued documents are checked against the original with exacting attention paid to preserving the integrity of the signed document. Textnotes and cross references are provided by the editors for purposes of identification or clarity usually of notable people referred to by the President or others participating in an event. Speeches are assumed to have been delivered in Washington DC unless otherwise indicated in the item heading. The times noted are assumed to be local times. All materials printed in full text in the book are indexed in the subject and name indexes and listed in the document categories list. With few exceptions deceased people are not indexed by name. The notes are intended for the general reader and specific criteria govern decisions about inclusion in or exclusion from the note with an eye toward keeping references standardized succinct and useful.

1946Best.-Nr. 190508Washington DC: US Government Printing Office 1946. Presented to his "oldest and best friend" a key commander at D-Day First edition presentation copy specially bound for Leonard T. Gerow and inscribed by Eisenhower on the initial blank "To 'Gee' one of the outstanding battle leaders of World War II with the admiration and gratitude of his old friend Ike". Gerow 1888-1972 was in command of the V Corps at Omaha Beach on D-Day and became the first American general to enter Paris after its liberation in 1944. "Gerow was his oldest and best friend in the theater and V Corps headquarters would provide a haven in moments of anxiety more than once" Eisenhower p. 176. The careers of the two men were closely intertwined. "Eisenhower and Gerow were opposites. Gerow trim and meticulous was a chronic worrier. Eisenhower hale and robust had a gregarious and confident manner. But the two men shared similar thinking and tastes and had similar prewar professional reputations as staff officers. In the summer of 1916 Eisenhower and Gerow had first served together in the 19th Regiment based at San Antonio. In 1926 they had been classmates at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff School. They had formed a two-man study group in Eisenhower's tiny attic" Eisenhower pp. 176-7. It was Gerow that introduced Eisenhower to his future wife Mamie. Gerow originally headed the War Plans Division until the role was reassigned to Eisenhower due to Gerow's failure to foresee Pearl Harbour. Eisenhower was gracious to Gerow acknowledging it was only fortune that led to his taking the position; afterwards Eisenhower's career was to inevitably eclipse that of his old friend but Gerow still rose to a highly respected position eventually leading the Fifteenth and Second Armies. The book prints Eisenhower's official report of his role leading the Allied liberation of western Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Eisenhower had copies bound for presentation to close family and military leaders the Eisenhower library have his brother's copy in the same binding; we could trace no other example on the market. Folio. With 11 colour maps of European battle theatres. Original black morocco front cover lettered in gilt silk endpapers. Housed in a custom black cloth solander box. Spine and front inner hinge neatly repaired light rubbing and wear at extremities. A very good copy. David Eisenhower Eisenhower at War 1986. hardcover
