Jack Ruby–taken and owned original 7 x 5” photograph showing a Dallas residence displaying a protest sign reading “Save Our Republic – Impeach Earl Warren,” captured in the immediate aftermath of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

This historically charged image was taken by Jack Ruby himself on November 23, 1963, one day after the assassination, during a period of intense emotional distress. The photograph reflects the charged political atmosphere in Dallas and Ruby’s own fixation on the Warren Commission and its chairman, Chief Justice Earl Warren.

Accompanying the photograph is a facsimile copy of a notarized letter signed by Ruby’s brother, Earl Ruby, written on September 17, 1994, on Earl Products Company letterhead. In this letter, Earl Ruby provides a detailed firsthand account confirming that:

Accompanying the photograph is a facsimile copy of a notarized letter signed by Ruby’s brother, Earl Ruby, written on September 17, 1994, on Earl Products Company letterhead. In this letter, Earl Ruby provides a detailed firsthand account stating that Jack Ruby personally took this photograph in Dallas. He further explains that Ruby took two related photographs: the present example and a separate Polaroid image, which is not included here. According to the letter, it was the Polaroid photograph—not the example offered here—that Ruby carried in his pocket on November 24, 1963, the day he shot Lee Harvey Oswald. Earl Ruby also describes Jack Ruby as deeply agitated and emotionally distraught in the days following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

The notarized statement offers rare contextual documentation linking this specific photograph directly to Ruby’s actions and mindset during one of the most pivotal moments in American history.

The photograph itself shows light handling wear consistent with age, with strong clarity.

A compelling and sobering piece of assassination-era ephemera, combining an original image taken by Jack Ruby with documentation from his immediate family, offering collectors a rare glimpse into the psychological and political climate surrounding November 1963.

Jack Ruby (1911–1967) was the Dallas nightclub owner who fatally shot Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963. His actions, motivations, and mental state have remained central to ongoing historical debate surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
