Fascinating lot of 8 candid photographs of Jackie Kennedy selecting new furnishings for the White House, as part of the White House Restoration project. The First Lady updated the executive mansion in 1961 with furniture from past presidencies as well as period furnishings. Lot totals 10 photos of the restoration, 8 of which show Jacqueline Kennedy actively consulting with an expert and hand-selecting various pieces of decor. The remaining 2 are from the same shoot and show the woman with whom Jackie was collaborating. Photos measure 6.75'' x 9.75'', save for one (not featuring Jackie), which measures 8'' x 7.75''. Minor creasing to some photos, pencil notations to verso and abrasion to the top edge of one photo, else lot is near fine overall. Provenance from the papers of Sally Powers, who served as secretary to White House curator Lorraine Pearce.
