Description

Candids of the Kennedys at Love Field, captured by a Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter

Collection of 21 original vintage glossy photographs, with 19 measuring 5 x 3.5 and two smaller at 3.25 x 2.5, most taken by a Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter who was on the press line at Love Field in Dallas on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy arrived that morning. The larger photos are marked "Mar 64" in the borders, evidently noting when film was developed. These images show the president and first lady disembarking from Air Force One, greeting the crowd on the tarmac, the open-top presidential limousine, and the beginning of the motorcade, along with two of the Texas School Book Depository taken shortly after the shooting. The two smaller photographs are from a different roll, thought to have been taken by a reporter who was in downtown Dallas; these show a wide-angle shot taken in the vicinity of the 'Grassy Knoll,' and the entrance to the Dallas Police Department where Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing to some photos.

From the collection of Ronald E.F. Hoskins.
