Circa 1965-1968, Official White House Silver Gelatin Photographs of Civil Rights' marchers and protesters encountering militant police forces and white facists a variety of historic Washington D.C. and White House photographs. Photographer: Abbie Rowe (American, 1905 - 1967), Renowned American Photographer, best known for being the Official White House Photographer from 1941 to 1967, covering five successive administrations. In December 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted a photographer to temporarily cover his official day-to-day duties (which could be seen as a precursor to the Chief Official White House Photographer). Coincidentally, one of Rowe's earliest photographs was of the First Lady riding horseback along the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway in the 1930s. Roosevelt was so impressed by Rowe's work, that he kept the Virginian on to document other official White House events. Rowe went on to photograph the presidencies of Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.
