1993 May and September White House Holiday Ornament

1993 May and September honoring John Tyler, 10th President of the United States, 1841–45. Tyler was the first president to marry while in the White House. His second wife, Julia Gardiner Tyler, was 30 years his junior. Her portrait—the first of a comprehensive White House collection of portraits of the first ladies—has for this ornament been reduced to resemble a miniature portrait of the sort given as gifts to special friends and loved ones at the time.
