John F. Kennedy & Jacqueline Kennedy original 8.5 x 7” black-and-white press photograph depicting the Democratic presidential nominee and his wife enjoying a sail aboard the Kennedy family cruiser Marlin at Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. The verso bears the original period news caption reading, in part: “OFF FOR A SAIL—Democratic presidential nominee Senator John F. Kennedy and wife Jacqueline enjoy a sail aboard the Kennedy family cruiser ‘Marlin’ at Hyannis Port, Mass.” The reverse is date-stamped JUL 20 1960 and includes typical newsroom editorial markings.

Fine condition.

Captured during the height of the 1960 presidential campaign, this image presents Kennedy in a relaxed, informal setting closely associated with his family’s Hyannis Port compound. Photographs aboard Marlin have become emblematic of the Kennedy mystique, blending politics, leisure, and the cultivated public image that would soon define the Camelot era.
