Details:

John F. Kennedy original 6.75 x 9” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph depicting the President walking through a hospital interior in West Palm Beach, Florida, during a visit to his father, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. Kennedy is shown dressed casually as he passes a cigarette vending machine, accompanied by aides. The verso bears the original AP caption noting Kennedy’s visit to his hospitalized father following a chest operation and subsequent mild bout of pneumonia, and is dated December 21, 1961, with standard newsroom editorial markings.

Near fine condition.

Taken during a private family moment amid the pressures of the presidency, this photograph offers a rare glimpse of Kennedy in a subdued, informal setting. Images tied to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s declining health carry added historical resonance, marking a quiet shift within the Kennedy family during the New Frontier years.
