Details:
John F. Kennedy original 7 x 9.5” black-and-white press photograph capturing the president-elect boarding his private plane, “The Caroline,” in Palm Beach, Florida on December 12, 1960.

The lower margin retains its original Associated Press caption identifying the moment and location, noting Kennedy’s return to Washington and referencing upcoming appointments. The verso bears an Associated Press stamp and handling marks consistent with newsroom circulation.
Near fine condition with light age toning, minor surface and edge wear, and typical press handling marks.
