Jim Garrison original 8 x 8.75 inch black-and-white press photograph depicting the New Orleans District Attorney during the height of his controversial investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The image shows Garrison walking outdoors, accompanied by aides and members of the press, capturing him in a candid, authoritative moment emblematic of his public role during the late 1960s.

The photograph has an Associated Press newspaper clipping dated May 11, 1967 affixed to the verso, referencing Garrison’s efforts to subpoena the CIA and pursue evidence related to Lee Harvey Oswald, including claims of a suppressed photograph allegedly taken in Mexico City. The clipping bears period editorial markings and annotations.

Photograph retains original newsroom wear consistent with press and publication handling. 

Jim Garrison (1924–1992) served as District Attorney of Orleans Parish from 1962 to 1973 and was the only public official to bring charges related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, prosecuting Clay Shaw in 1969. Although the trial ended in acquittal, Garrison’s investigation profoundly shaped public discourse, inspired decades of research and debate, and later served as the basis for Oliver Stone’s 1991 film JFK. Original period material connected to Garrison’s investigation remains highly sought after by collectors of assassination-era history and American legal history.
