Sideboard and Wallpaper in the President's Dining Room

This photograph is of a sideboard and a portion of the wallpaper by Zuber et Cie installed in the Presidents Dining Room. The photograph was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on September 28, 1962 during the John F. Kennedy administration, and shows the refurbishment of the Second Floor by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. The mahogany sideboard has an inlaid eagle and belonged to Daniel Webster. Behind the sideboard is a scene from the panoramic wallpaper entitled "Views of the American War of Independence" which features events from the American Revolution against the backdrop of natural landmarks.
