Description

President Harry S. Truman receives a gift of a clock and two candelabra from the French Ambassador to the United States, Henri Bonnet (second from right). The clock is mounted on a white marble base and is supported by two cupids astride bronze animals. It is the work of sculptor Gouttiere. These gifts were sent on behalf of the President of France and especially meant as an addition to the newly renovated White House. First Lady Bess W. Truman (far left) and Madame Bonnet (far right) look on.
