Details:

John F. Kennedy & Jacqueline Kennedy original 5.75 x 9” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph depicting the Democratic president-elect and his wife posing beneath an American flag on the grounds of the Kennedy family home at Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. The verso bears the original period news caption reading, in part: “TIME FOR STROLL—Senator John F. Kennedy, Democratic president-elect, with his wife Jacqueline pose under a flag on the grounds of his father’s home at Hyannis Port, Mass.” The reverse is date-stamped NOV 11 1960 and includes typical newsroom editorial markings.

Near fine condition.

Taken days after Kennedy’s election victory, this photograph captures the transitional moment between campaign and presidency, presenting the Kennedys in a composed, symbolic setting beneath the American flag. Images from this brief president-elect period are especially prized for their sense of anticipation and historical threshold, just weeks before the inauguration.
