John F. Kennedy original 10 x 8” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph depicting a tribute ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery following Kennedy’s assassination. The image shows survivors of the Cuban Brigade presenting a wreath at Kennedy’s gravesite, with mourners and uniformed personnel gathered nearby. The photograph bears the original AP caption along the margin identifying the event as a tribute from the Cuban Brigade—veterans of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion—and is dated December 22, 1963. The verso carries the standard Associated Press photo stamp and usage notice.

Fine condition.

Taken one month after Kennedy’s death, this photograph captures the intersection of Cold War history and national mourning. The presence of Cuban Brigade members—closely tied to one of the most defining foreign policy crises of the Kennedy presidency—adds significant historical depth, underscoring the global ramifications of Kennedy’s leadership and legacy.
