President Eisenhower’s limited edition 1953 Hallmark presidential White House staff gift Christmas print, 11.5 x 15.5, featuring a color 9.25 x 12 reproduction of Eisenhower’s painting of Abraham Lincoln, with a 3D white presidential seal affixed to the bottom border, as well as President Eisenhower’s pre-printed signature. Card comes in its original presentation folder. In very good condition, with tape remnant to lower edge, trimmed top edge, small tack hole to top right, and scattered wear, soiling, and edge tears to folder. The President used a photograph of Lincoln done by Alexander Gardner in 1863, and a total of 516 of these 1953 Eisenhower gift prints were presented as gifts directly to White House staff members at the annual 1953 Christmas party. Few examples from this year survive, especially not in such fine condition.
