Description: PORTRAIT PRINT OF PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON These photographs were taken by photographer assigned to the White House during President John F. Kennedy's and President Lyndon Johnson's terms in office. Prior to Kennedy's presidency in 1961, the role of official White House photographer did not exist; instead, various military photographers captured events such as state dinners and overseas visits. As journalist Kenneth T. Walsh observed in his 2017 book "Ultimate Insiders: White House Photographers and How They Shape History," Kennedy "understood the importance of image," and chose Cecil Stoughton, a US Army Signal Corps photographer, to document his presidency. Stoughton established a new normal through his access to Kennedy, offering the public the first personal view of a sitting president's life. But Stoughton also reported to Kennedy, who limited the circumstances in which he could be photographed and controlled which images could be made public. "The Kennedys imposed restrictions to protect their image as an elegant, graceful couple," noted Walsh. Portrait print on poster board 14"x11"
