Our first man, George Washington was an historical figure larger than life, so it is very interesting to historians the mythologizing of our first celebrity president. Parson Weems still stands the test of time as the first biographer that set the bar for trying to turn ordinary heroes into something even grander. The first time all the historical documents are put under one cover for the historical researcher to read and enjoy a critical biography about the making of a myth.
Our founding fathers (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson et al) were always one step ahead of history and having an artist of such immense talents as Gilbert Stuart to paint their portraits has made the images of our founding fathers indelible in the minds of the modern reader. As a TJ enthusiast I often wonder how amazing it must of been to have "sat" for Gilbert Stuart a known storyteller and have your portrait painted. Mr. Jefferson was a favorite portrait sitter and this book is a lovely trip down memory lane (circa 18th century) to read about the fascinating story behind the portraits and the artist.
This remarkable book (originally published in 1908) by Charles Allen Munn goes into great detail (with fabulous illustrations) of the portraiture done by the famous artists of the day (Gilbert Stuart, John Trumbull, and Charles Willson Peale) to commemorate our first president, George Washington. As an added bonus the 12 page article on Gilbert Stuart from WikiPedia is included as an appendices to the original 1908 work.
This is a very interesting read about life in the White House by the early inhabitants (prior to 1907), written to show the domestic life of our presidents, their first ladies and often times their relatives and children.
Originally published in 1903, this collection of political musings (called Anas) was kept by Thomas Jefferson between the years of 1791-1809 to keep track of his political friends and foes. Never one to ever filter much in his private writings this volume offers rare insight into the most complicated and cunning politician of his day.
Maria Cosway, Italian born artist who captured the heart of American Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson in 1786 while he was abroad. Mrs. Cosway was a well known miniaturist painter married to Richard Cosway (also a famous miniaturist). This Modern Lulu First Edition is an artists catalog of both the works of Maria Cosway and her foppish husband Richard. To understand Thomas Jefferson you only have to read his 'Head & Heart' letter he wrote to Mrs. Cosway and the picture (in miniature of course) comes clear.
