John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy original 10 x 7” Associated Press wire photograph captured on November 8, 1960, as the couple reunited at a Boston polling place on Election Day during Kennedy’s historic presidential campaign. The candid image shows Senator Kennedy smiling toward his wife, while Jacqueline Kennedy faces the camera after joining him following her morning vote.

The original Associated Press caption notes that Jacqueline Kennedy voted separately in her native Boston before rejoining her husband on the campaign trail. Although expecting the couple’s second child, John F. Kennedy Jr., she remained an active and highly visible presence throughout the election despite scaling back her schedule on medical advice. The photograph was taken on one of the most consequential days in American political history, as voters headed to the polls to decide the closely contested race between Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon.

Kennedy’s victory that evening made him the youngest person elected President of the United States and the first Roman Catholic to win the nation’s highest office. Images from Election Day capture the optimism and excitement surrounding the birth of what would soon become known as the “Camelot” era, while also highlighting the partnership between John and Jacqueline Kennedy that captivated audiences around the world.

Very good condition overall with expected editorial handling wear.
