Details:

New York World-Telegram and The Sun (New York, New York), November 22, 1963. Extra edition featuring the dramatic front-page headline “KENNEDY IS SHOT” with the subheadline “PERHAPS FATALLY WOUNDED.” Published during the chaotic hours immediately following the attack in Dallas, the front page includes a photograph of President John F. Kennedy and extensive breaking-news coverage reporting that both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally had been struck by gunfire during the presidential motorcade.

Issued before the full details of the tragedy were confirmed, this newspaper captures the uncertainty and confusion that marked the first reports from Dallas. Early accounts described Kennedy as gravely wounded and fighting for his life at Parkland Hospital, while news organizations struggled to verify rapidly changing information. The wording of the headline, particularly the phrase “Perhaps Fatally Wounded,” reflects the tense period when the nation awaited confirmation of the President’s fate. Extra editions published during these crucial hours are among the most historically significant newspapers associated with the assassination, preserving the unfolding story as Americans first learned of the attack.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
