Details:

John F. Kennedy vintage 8 x 11" black-and-white wire service photograph presenting a two-frame sequence from the assassination motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The top image captures the immediate aftermath of the fatal shots as the President slumps toward Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the rear seat of the open limousine, while the lower frame shows the continuation of the tragic moment as he collapses into her lap.

The lower margin retains its original wire service caption, identifying the images as “KENNEDY ASSASSINATION SEQUENCE NO. 2,” and noting that the President was struck by an assassin’s bullet before falling onto his wife. The photograph is credited as an AP Wirephoto, with imagery sourced from Life Magazine, and issued in connection with retrospective coverage of the assassination.

The photograph exhibits typical editorial production characteristics including border markings, cropping guides, and handling wear from newsroom use. The verso shows moderate toning, with areas of paper loss and adhesive remnants along the lower edge.

Light age-related wear, including toning and edge wear consistent with vintage wire service photographs.
