This is a 1952 Bernard DeVoto and Isa Barnett pictorial chart of the presidents of the United States. Presidents from George Washington to Dwight D. Eisenhower appear in chronological order along a timeline from before 1770 to 1953. Vertical blue lines mark each decade. Every row is the same length, represents a single president, and includes important information, such as date of birth and death (if applicable), education, and career trajectory. The president's lifetime is colored either green or yellow (we have been unable to determine what, if any, significance the green and yellow have). Red denotes presidential terms. The progression of the American flag, American territorial acquisitions and population increase, and the geographical changes appear along the top. Bars along the bottom place important world events within the timeline, including U.S. wars, major foreign wars, major inventions, transportation milestones, and other events. Important American affairs of state, such as Constitutional amendments, landmark legislation, and influential foreign policy decisions, are included as well. Presidential portraits create the chart's border. (more details)
