El Nacional (Caracas, Venezuela), November 23, 1963. Venezuelan newspaper featuring the bold banner headline “KENNEDY ASESINADO” (“Kennedy Assassinated”) reporting the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The front page is dominated by a large portrait of Kennedy and includes dramatic photographs of the presidential limousine in Dallas. Subheadlines report that Kennedy was shot with a rifle from a building, that a suspect had been captured, and that Lyndon B. Johnson had assumed the presidency.

Published the day after the assassination, this striking Venezuelan newspaper captures the immediate international reaction to the events in Dallas. The issue provides extensive coverage of the shooting, the apprehension of Lee Harvey Oswald, and the rapid transition of power to President Johnson. As one of Venezuela’s leading daily newspapers, El Nacional offers an important Latin American perspective on the assassination and serves as a powerful international record of the worldwide shock and mourning that followed President Kennedy’s death.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
