Description

Archive of 51 silver gelatin press photographs of Jacqueline Kennedy, ranging in size from about 7 x 9 to 8 x 10, many with press stamps and captions on the reverse, mostly circa 1960s. Subjects include: several photos of the first lady in the White House; various candid-style portraits; many shots of her travels, showing her deplaning at LaGuardia, meeting with Pope John XXIII, visiting sick children in Paris, walking with the US ambassador in Rome, visiting Ancient Greek ruins at the Parthenon, and riding an elephant in India. Captions and credit stamps include the Associated Press, Wide World Photos, United Press International, and CBS Television. In overall very good to fine condition, with general wear and various editorial notations to image from use in the newsroom. Showcasing Jackie Kennedy's iconic style, this archive perfectly captures her elegance in settings ranging from the White House to international travels. Together, the images underscore her enduring influence as a global fashion and cultural figure of the 1960s.
