Description

Unpublished photo of John and Jackie at the inaugural ball

Pair of unpublished color glossy photos from the White House files of John F. Kennedy. Both photos were taken on the day of Kennedy's inauguration ball, held at the D.C. Armory on January 19, 1961, and widely considered one of Washington's largest parties. The first photo measures 10 x 8 and shows an upward view of Kennedy standing on a balcony with Jacqueline and several others; the second photo, a 3.5 x 5 candid, depicts a woman identified in the lower border in blue ballpoint as "Mrs. Frank-Allen," with notation in upper border, "Inaugural Ball." Reverse of second photo bears a Frank Allen ownership stamp. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
