Freidel, Frank and Lonnelle Aikman. George Washington: Man and Monument. Washington, D.C.: Washington National Monument Association, 1965. First edition, published in cooperation with the National Geographic Society. Octavo, pictorial card wrappers, 96 pages, illustrated throughout in color and black-and-white. Foreword by President Lyndon B. Johnson. A bright, near-fine copy of this richly illustrated historical tribute, produced by the National Geographic Special Publications Division. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked; binding tight and square. Only light shelf rubbing to the front cover and a tiny spot to the lower margin. Includes the original perforated mail-order card loosely laid in, a seldom-retained insert listing the paperback’s 75¢ price. The volume combines historical narrative and full-color art plates celebrating George Washington as both historical figure and national symbol, with sections on the construction of the Washington Monument and Washington’s enduring influence on American civic ideals. Frank Freidel (1916-1993) was a distinguished historian and professor at Harvard University, best known for his multi-volume biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Lonnelle Aikman (1915-1993) was a senior editor and writer for National Geographic, acclaimed for her accessible narrative style and richly visual historical works. Together, they blended scholarly perspective and engaging popular history to commemorate Washington’s legacy during the Monument’s centennial renewal.…
