Two original inaugural invitations, both for Lillian R. Parks, who was a best selling author as well as housekeeper and seamstress at the White House for over 30 years, from Hoover through Eisenhower. These personalized invitations are to Harry S. Truman’s 1949 inauguration, and Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1957 inauguration. Each invitation is individually framed, by the White House’s Carpenter’s Office, both with handwritten notations on the reverse, by recipient Lillian Rogers Parks, identifying the invitations as, “gift to Lillian Rogers Parks from the Inaugural Committee.” In fine condition.
