Description

Scarce first generation 8” x 10” silver gelatin photograph printed from the original 4” x 5” negative, depicting a full-length image of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier as they exit St. Mary's Church in 1953, with Jackie wearing her engagement ring. In very fine museum-quality condition. John and Jacqueline married at historic St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 12, 1953. The much-publicized wedding featured a massive guest list of over 800 that included senators and congressmen, Bay State political figures, and several Hollywood luminaries, with the nuptial mass conducted by Cardinal Cushing, the esteemed Archbishop of Boston. Any photograph from this wedding period is highly sought after especially a print of this quality.
