John F. Kennedy & Jacqueline Kennedy original 8 x 6” black-and-white press photograph depicting the President and First Lady standing together during their official visit to Ottawa, Canada.

Kennedy – Ottawa Visit” and bears a RECEIVED MAY 19 1961 stamp, along with a Canadian news service credit stamp, consistent with period press distribution.

Near fine condition.

Taken during Kennedy’s first year in office, this photograph documents a key moment in U.S.–Canada relations and exemplifies the polished international image projected by the Kennedy administration. Images from foreign visits early in the New Frontier era are especially desirable for their diplomatic and cultural context.
