Five top American artists were commissioned to capture their impressions of President-Elect Jimmy Carter's inauguration January 20, 1977.
The 1977 Presidential Inaugural Committee commissioned Jacob Lawrence, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol and Jamie Wyeth to capture the event for a boxed portfolio of signed prints which were limited to an edition of 100.
The committee used the proceeds to keep museums open later and to help pay for many free cultural events in Washington during the inaugural festival, January 18-22, 1977.
The prints are available in the complete set of five, in custom embossed folio.
