(JOHN F. KENNEDY)
(1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the United States. Kennedy faced-down Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis, re-invigorated NASA, and signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Assassinated November 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. Rare group of four JFK images from the Gen. Chester Clifton estate, c. 1960's, all with Cecil Stoughton photographers imprint on the verso. Stoughton (1920-2008) is best known for being President Kennedy's photographer during his White House years. Stoughton took the only photograph ever published showing John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe together. He was present at the motorcade at which Kennedy was assassinated, and was subsequently the only photographer on board Air Force One when Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the next President. Stoughton's famous photograph of this event depicts Johnson raising his hand in oath as he stood between his wife Lady Bird Johnson and a still blood-spattered Jacqueline Kennedy. These rare mounted images, three color and one b/w, measure 7 1/2" x 9 1/2". Three of the images were taken in the Oval Office, and one image taken outside. Of interest is the image of JFK seated at his desk, a rare candid photo. A rare group. Fine.
