Onassis printed stationery card/envelope sets by Tiffany & Co New York, and two other envelopes. Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (née Bouvier, 1929–1994) was an American socialite, writer, photographer, and book editor who served as the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. A popular first lady, she endeared the American public with her devotion to her family, dedication to the historic preservation of the White House, the campaigns she led to preserve and restore historic landmarks and architecture along with her interest in American history, culture and arts. During her lifetime, she was regarded as an international icon for her unique fashion choices, and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally. After the assassination and funeral of her husband in 1963, Kennedy and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968, she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, which caused controversy. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New York City, first at Viking Press and then at Doubleday, and worked to restore her public image. Even after her death, she ranks as one of the most popular and recognizable first ladies in American history, and in 1999, she was listed as one of Gallup's Most-Admired Men and Women of the 20th century. She died in 1994 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery alongside John F. Kennedy and the two children who had predeceased them. Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St Martin’s School of Art in London. She subsequently worked at interior designer Joy King’s Elizabeth Eaton shop in Belgravia before joining the esteemed London firm Colefax & Fowler in 1964, where she became a protégé of decorator John Fowler, founder of the firm. She re-located to New York to work in the firm’s Manhattan office and later joined Rose Cumming, in whose studio she presumably met the designer Harrison Cultra (1941-1983.) Together they formed the Cultra-Fairholme partnership, clients included Richard H. Jenrette and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amongst others. Following the dissolution of the partnership, in 1978 she opened her own firm in New York City in a fiercely competitive sector but ran a book with many famous and notable clients including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon as well as Mr. and Mrs. John Hay “Jock” Whitney. In 1986, Architectural Digest called Fairholme the “doyenne of English Country Style.” In addition to designing interiors, she designed furniture, china, fabrics and wall coverings. On retirement she moved to Italy thence for the last 17 years of her life to Lavenham, Suffolk. She died in Bury St Edmunds 27 August 2019 – soon after her 92nd birthday. Provenance by descent
