John F. Kennedy original 8 x 7” black-and-white Associated Press press photograph depicting the Massachusetts senator smiling broadly while bundling up in cold weather at Mitchell Field Airport in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as he prepared to fly to Omaha. The verso bears the original period news caption reading, in part: “‘LIDS’ ON—You seldom see this gent wearing a hat… It’s Senator John F. Kennedy (Dem., Mass.), bundling up at Mitchell Airport…” and is date-stamped JAN 22 1960, with newsroom editorial markings.
Near fine condition.
Taken during the early stages of Kennedy’s 1960 presidential campaign, this image captures a candid, approachable moment that contrasts sharply with the more formal imagery often associated with his public persona. Campaign-era press photographs from early 1960 are particularly desirable, documenting Kennedy’s transition from senator to national candidate.
