This is a vintage book from 1994 about American Politicians.  The book is filled with a marvelous collection of images, from Mathew Brady's indelible portraits of Abraham Lincoln to the carefully staged "photo opportunities" of today. Among them are icons of political photography - Calvin Coolidge wearing a Native American headdress, Fiorello La Guardia reading comics over the radio, Harry Truman playing piano for Lauren Bacall, Lyndon Johnson displaying the scar from his surgery...etc. (from Publishers)

The pictures have been selected from an array of public and private collections, including those of the Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, the Museum of the City of New York, the New-York Historical Society, the Chicago Historical Society, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the archives of photo agencies, newspapers, and magazines. (from Publishers)
