John F. Kennedy original 9.75 x 7” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph capturing the President delivering his inaugural address from the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The image shows Kennedy at the podium with a densely packed audience of dignitaries seated behind him, including Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Senator John Sparkman, and former President Harry S. Truman. The original AP caption affixed to the lower margin identifies the scene as Kennedy’s first presidential address following the oath of office and is dated January 20, 1961, with standard newsroom editorial markings.
