John F. Kennedy original 7 x 10” Associated Press wire photograph depicting Senator John F. Kennedy giving his daughter Caroline Kennedy, then nearly three years old, a piggyback ride at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, on November 9, 1960, just one day after his election as President of the United States.

The original Associated Press caption printed beneath the image reads in part: “Piggy-Back with Daddy” and notes that Caroline peeks over her father’s shoulder as he carries her during one of his first opportunities to relax after the hard-fought presidential campaign. Captured immediately following Kennedy’s historic electoral victory, the photograph offers a warm and candid glimpse into the family life that would soon captivate the nation.

Few presidential families have resonated with the American public as profoundly as the Kennedys, and images of John F. Kennedy with young Caroline became enduring symbols of youth, optimism, and the beginning of the Camelot era. Taken at the Hyannis Port compound before the family’s move to the White House, this photograph preserves an intimate father-daughter moment during one of the most consequential transitions in American political history.

Very good condition overall with expected editorial handling wear.
