On Texas: How y'all think we look, and what we actually look like.

Greatest photo ever taken?

April 27, 1964. Photographer Charles Gorry takes an infamous photo of LBJ holding up one of his beagles (Her) by the ears. On May 4, LBJ reenacts the Gorry photo for the White House photographers. This photo, above, is in the public domain, so it resides in our photo archives—earning President Johnson the gratitude of generations of LBJ Library photo archivists!

Photo C311-7-WH6.

I really love LBJ, folks. I think we’re soul sisters.
