Tomorrow, iconic photographs of American presidents over the years will be on display at Federal Hall. The exhibit, "The American President," is put together by the Associated Press, which is showcasing over 80 photographs of presidents "at war and at ease, in victory and in defeat, confronting national crises and facing personal scandals, running for office and leading the country on the world stage"--and photographs of this year's presidential candidates on the campaign trail.
The AP shared a few photographs included in the exhibit (see gallery below). And the setting of the exhibit at Federal Hall, right on Wall Street, is especially appropriate, as it's where George Washington was sworn in as the country's first president in 1789. "The American President" will be on display from Wednesday, April 30, through January 31, 2009.
