Picturing the Presidents

American presidents not only determined the course of United States policy, but have played a pivotal role in world issues throughout the years, from WWII, to America's heavy-handed role in Iraq and the Middle East. The Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., offers a retrospective of U.S. presidents in portrait form, ensuring that the winding path of America's history is remembered along with its leaders.
