Description

Historic glossy 14 x 11 silver gelatin photograph of James Leavelle escorting Lee Harvey Oswald at the moment of Jack Ruby's attack, signed in the lower border in black felt tip by Leavelle, "James R. Leavelle," and by the photographer, "Bob Jackson." In fine condition. Consignor notes that this photograph was obtained directly from the photographer, Robert Jackson, who stated that it was printed from the original negative.

Additionally includes an original issue of the Dallas Morning News from November 25, 1963, covering the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald and featuring a photo by staff photographer Jack Beers on the front page, showing the scene just before Ruby pulled the trigger. The large headline reads: "Club Owner Kills Oswald." The newspaper is incomplete (missing the third section, dedicated to Thanksgiving cooking) and in very good condition, with toning and some chipping to the brittle edges.
