Lyndon B. Johnson original 10 x 8” Associated Press wire photograph depicting President Johnson meeting with legendary professional football player Jim Brown in the White House on December 16, 1963. Taken less than a month after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the image captures Brown seated in conversation with Johnson during a visit to the Oval Office.

The original Associated Press caption identifies Brown as the star fullback of the Cleveland Browns, noting that he had recently helped lead the NFL All-Stars to a 20-27 exhibition victory over the Washington Redskins. Brown’s White House visit came during the early weeks of the Johnson administration, a period in which the new president sought to continue the nation’s business while navigating the aftermath of the national tragedy. The meeting reflects Johnson’s engagement with prominent American cultural and athletic figures during his first months in office.

Very good condition overall with expected editorial handling wear.
