These photographs were accumulated by Robert L. Schulz, aide to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, during and after Eisenhower’s presidency. The images mostly involve the president’s modes of travel and travel plans, as well as Eisenhower’s hospitalizations at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in 1955 and at Walter Reed Army Hospital in 1956. Photographs connected with Eisenhower’s hospitalizations include such individuals as his personal physician, Dr. Howard M. Snyder; Major General M. E. Griffin, commanding officer at Fitzsimons; Col. George M. Powell; and Major General Leonard D. Heaton, commanding officer at Walter Reed. Identification photos of personnel at Walter Reed Army Hospital during Eisenhower’s 1956 hospitalization are also included. Presidential trips and other locations featured include Lowry Air Force Base; the National Military Academy at West Point; Johns Hopkins University; Battery Park and Governor’s Island, New York; Lisbon, Portugal; Paris, France; Brazil; and South Korea. Eisenhower is also shown leaving the heavy cruiser USS Des Moines at Toulon, France, in 1959. Four photographed floor diagrams of railcars which transported him from Toulon to Paris are included as well. Some of the president’s aircraft appearing in the photos are his Lockheed Constellation, “Columbine II”; a Military Air Transport Service (MATS) Boeing 707 jet; and an Army Sikorsky H-34 helicopter (“Army One”). Significant individuals appearing in the series include foreign leaders Charles De Gaulle, Francesco Franco, Konrad Adenauer, Carlos Castillo-Armas, and Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (who visited the United States of America with her mother in 1954). Among the members of the Eisenhower administration featured are Vice President Richard Nixon, Secretaries of State John Foster Dulles and Christian Herter, Assistant Secretary of State Walter S. Robertson, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, and Admiral Arthur Radford. President Eisenhower’s wife, Mamie Doud Eisenhower, brother Milton Eisenhower, son John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower, daughter-in-law Barbara Eisenhower, and grandchildren David, Susan, Barbara Ann, and Mary Jean also appear. Robert Schulz accompanied Milton Eisenhower on a trip to Mexico in 1957. The series also includes a couple of photographs of Eisenhower’s Cadillac staff car from World War II as it was delivered to the Eisenhower Foundation at the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kansas, in 1957.
