This picture shows a formal reception at the White House, with the title singling out the "notabilities" of the nation, the prominent public men and women invited to pass through the executive mansion. Presidential receptions of this kind were a long-standing American custom, and Abraham Lincoln held them during the Civil War, when the building doubled as a place for public business and social life. Receptions like this drew government officials, military officers, and visiting dignitaries, and the scene offers a useful look at how the nation's leaders gathered in the nation's capital. Look closely at the crowd and the setting to see who was included and how the event was presented to the public.
