Jacqueline Kennedy vintage 8 x 11” black-and-white wire service photograph depicting the deeply emotional moment as she receives the folded American flag following the funeral of President John F. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery on November 25, 1963. Veiled in mourning attire, Mrs. Kennedy is shown being handed the flag that had draped the casket, capturing one of the most iconic and somber images of the national tragedy.

The image retains its original wire service caption along the lower margin, reading in part: “RECEIVING THE FLAG—Jacqueline Kennedy, her face veiled, is handed the American Flag that covered the casket of her husband…” along with AP Wirephoto credits and editorial notations. The verso features a period “Miami Herald Rush Art” newsroom label with handwritten publication instructions, further enhancing its authenticity and provenance as a working press photograph.

The photograph exhibits light age and editorial wear consistent with newsroom use, including toning, edge wear, and handling marks.
