Details:

Berliner Illustrierte (Berlin, Germany), 1963 special edition. Special commemorative issue titled “Das Attentat” (“The Assassination”), with the cover depicting the presidential limousine in Dallas immediately following the shooting of President John F. Kennedy. The masthead further notes “Präsident Kennedys letzter Tag” (“President Kennedy’s Last Day”), indicating this publication was issued as a dedicated retrospective on the events of November 22, 1963. The rear cover features a full-color image of President Kennedy lying in state beneath the American flag in the East Room of the White House.

Produced as a special publication rather than a daily newspaper, this richly illustrated German magazine examines the assassination, Kennedy’s final day, and the worldwide mourning that followed. Published in Berlin—a city forever linked to Kennedy through his historic “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech just months earlier—it reflects the profound impact his death had on the people of West Germany. The dramatic cover imagery and memorial presentation make this an especially desirable international tribute to President Kennedy and one of the more visually striking foreign publications issued in the aftermath of the assassination.

Good condition overall with light expected toning and age wear.
