This photograph of a window on the North Front of the White House was taken during a State Dinner honoring President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic on December 1, 2022. A flag of the French Republic is draped over the window. The State Dinner was part of Macron's official State Visit with President Joseph R. Biden, and was preceded earlier in the day by a State Arrival Ceremony on the South Lawn and a joint press conference with Biden and Macron in the East Room of the White House. The State Dinner took place under a tent on the South Lawn and included decor in red, white, and blue - the common colors on the flags of the United States and France - and a performance by singer-songwriter Jon Batiste. This photograph was taken by Matthew D'Agostino for the White House Historical Association.

This Christmas card was presented to White House Executive Chef Henry Haller from First Lady Lady Bird Johnson and President Lyndon B. Johnson in December 1966.
