Livingstone, Helen Carroll. The White House Book of Etiquette, An Authoritative and Authentic Statement of the Manners of Society. First Edition. 1903. Hardcover in red cloth boards with embossed decorations and titles. First Edition. 1903. Book is in good condition—there is some fraying spine ends and light staining to the boards. Also, there seem to be some photographic plates missing, but not certain how many (this book is rare, and a copy to compare with this one was unavailable).
Two decades before Emily Post’s groundbreaking book, Helen Carroll Livingstone released this treatise on etiquette, using the customs, procedures, and state dinners of the White House as example. With chapters on debutantes, letter writing afternoon teas, cotillions, and much more. Rare—no other copies currently for sale.
