White House History Quarterly: France and the White House (Issue 44)

White House History Quarterly: France and the White House (Issue 44)

Leslie B. Jones
5/5 ( ratings)
2017 marked the 200th anniversary of President James Monroe’s moving into the White House, rebuilt following its destruction by fire during the War of 1812. Fittingly, this issue of White House History observes this bicentennial with a focus on the subject of the young James and Elizabeth Monroe as Americans in post-revolutionary France, and the resulting influence of French style on their later White House furnishings and decor—an influence that can still be seen today.

— James Monroe’s Ties to France by Scott H. Harris
— Furnishings in Paris: From the Directory to the Coronation of Napoleon by Ulrich Leben
— James Monroe’s White House State Furniture a la Francaise by Leslie B. Jones
— James Monroe’s Diplomatic Residence in Paris by Ulrich Leben
— The Court Ensembles of James and Elizabeth Monroe: American Diplomatic Dress in France by Lynne Zacek Bassett
— Dolley Madison’s Music Book, A Lyrical French Connection by Elise K. Kirk
