Forty-five gracious First Ladies—from Martha Washington to Laura Bush—come to life in the pages of this entertaining and informative coloring book. First Ladies and other women who served as official White House hostesses during presidential tenures are depicted in finely detailed line drawings, frequently modeling their inaugural gowns. Included are Dolley Madison, shown in a golden gown of Chinese silk brocade; Mary Todd Lincoln, in a gown of royal purple velvet, with white piping and lace; Ida McKinley wearing a lovely dress of ivory lace; Grace Coolidge in a sleeveless frock of orange draped velvet; Jacqueline Kennedy in a two-piece print outfit worn for a luncheon date; Nancy Reagan in a woolen ensemble of pale gray, with contrasting trim; Barbara Bush, wearing a gown of black velvet and blue taffeta; and many more. Fact-filled captions complete this collection—sure to delight coloring book fans as well as anyone interested in the women who brought warmth, grace, and a feminine touch to one of the most demanding and highly scrutinized roles in American public life.
