John F. Kennedy vintage 11 x 8” black-and-white wire service photograph featuring a composite layout tied to reporting on the events surrounding the President’s trip to Dallas. The image includes portrait panels of prominent Democratic figures alongside a dramatic scene of the presidential limousine immediately after the fatal shots, as Secret Service agent Clint Hill climbs onto the rear of the vehicle to assist Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The upper caption reads in part: “URGED KENNEDY NOT TO GO—William Manchester reports… that five prominent Democrats urged President Kennedy not to go to Dallas in November, 1963,” referencing figures such as Hubert Humphrey, J. William Fulbright, Byron Skelton, Hale Boggs, and Adlai Stevenson. The image is credited as an AP Wirephoto and relates to coverage following publication of Manchester’s account of the assassination.

The photograph exhibits typical editorial characteristics including border markings, cropping guides, and toning. The verso bears a “DATE USED” stamp of October 17, 1971, along with a handwritten notation identifying the subject.

Fine condition with light age-related wear.
