Lucille Tutt, White House Administration Employee, Collection of Presidential Memorabilia
Lots 194-207
Under stacks of papers and the sound of mummers over spurious typing in the bustling back offices of the White House, Lucille Tutt (1921-2013) happily sat at her desk. One crisp August morning John F. Kennedy wandered into the depths of the White House and surprised Tutt. “Oh! Good morning, Mr. President,” she gasped (The Washington Post, August 24, 1961). She shook the hands and served some of the most iconic presidents of the 20th century including: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Harry S. Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. She attended inaugural balls, receptions, and even a surprise party thrown by Jackie Kennedy for the President’s birthday. One can only imagine what she experienced during her career. Her collection of political memorabilia, press and personal photographs, press releases, invitations, and more accumulated during each administration documents the celebrations and a great time of mourning at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. from 1945 until 1965.
Provenance: From the Private Collection of Lucille TuttMost are in very good condition. Some of the newspapers have issues of toning.Condition
