John F. Kennedy original 7 x 9” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph depicting the President-elect arriving at his father’s Palm Beach, Florida home while a nurse carries his newborn son, John F. Kennedy Jr., wrapped in blankets. Kennedy is shown smiling broadly as he walks alongside the aircraft stairway, hat in hand. The verso bears the original AP caption beginning “BEAMING PRESIDENT ELECT—President elect John Kennedy wore a beaming smile upon arrival…” and is dated December 9, 1960, with standard newsroom editorial markings.

Near fine condition.

Taken just weeks after Kennedy’s election victory and days after the birth of John F. Kennedy Jr., this photograph captures a defining personal moment at the threshold of the presidency. Images showing Kennedy with his infant son are among the most sought-after of the Camelot era, blending public transition with private family life.
