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.
