Brinn’s Bess Truman

Bess Truman-Bess truman Side-Bess Truman Close-up15″ Porcelain First Lady Bess Truman (1945-1952). The doll came with the following information:” Bess Wallace Truman wore this dress of smoke gray at a state dinner that she and President Truman gave Queen Juliana of the Netherlands on April 2nd, 1952. The dinner was held at the Sheraton-Carlton Hotel because the White House was undergoing major renovations at the time. Mrs. Truman’s opinion, shared privately with the President, were very important to him and her influences were greater than was generally recognized by the American public… Detailing of the her garment is historically accurate according to the Smithsonian Musuem Standards. I purchased the doll in 2009 from a seller in Mt. Morris, Michigan.
