John F. Kennedy original 6.75 x 7” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph depicting the President seated at his White House desk as he signs legislation into law. The image documents Kennedy signing three bills aimed at combating organized crime, gambling, and racketeering enterprises, with administration officials observing in the background. The verso bears the original AP caption dated September 14, 1961, with standard newsroom editorial markings.

Near fine condition.

Taken during Kennedy’s first year in office, this photograph records a key legislative action of the New Frontier era, reflecting the administration’s emphasis on strengthening federal authority against interstate crime. Desk-signing images are particularly desirable, capturing the tangible moment policy becomes law.
