Details:
John F. Kennedy original 8.5 x 7” black-and-white press photograph depicting the President seated at his desk signing documents during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The image captures Kennedy in a candid working moment, pen in hand, with official papers before him. The original Associated Press caption (present on verso) identifies the scene as the signing of the naval blockade order around Cuba, one of the defining actions of October 1962.
Near fine condition with light age-related wear, including minor edge and surface handling. Verso retains original news caption along with editorial markings and an “OCT 24 1962” date stamp, consistent with newsroom archival use.
