John F. Kennedy original 5 x 3.5” black-and-white photograph depicting President Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy riding in an open limousine alongside Texas Governor John Connally and Nellie Connally during the presidential visit to Texas on November 21, 1963. The image was taken in San Antonio shortly after the Kennedys arrived to begin their highly publicized tour of the state. Visible in the open motorcade, the President and First Lady greet spectators as the procession moves through the city, capturing a poignant moment less than twenty-four hours before Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas.

Fine condition.

The Texas trip of November 21–22, 1963, was organized to strengthen political support within the state ahead of the 1964 presidential election. President Kennedy, accompanied by Jacqueline Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, and Texas Governor John Connally, visited San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth, and Dallas. Following a successful first day of appearances, the presidential party continued to Dallas on November 22, where Kennedy was assassinated while riding in an open motorcade through Dealey Plaza. Governor Connally, seated in the same limousine, was seriously wounded in the attack but survived.
