Dated along the bottom of the spine as "Nov #1", "1963". Interior of the spiral bound album lined with red damask silk, 9.5" x 10.5" x 2". Contains 34 large 8" x 10" first generation glossy period color photos, on double weight paper stock. Each with Stoughton's unique numbering system on verso. The photos vary in quality from having some of the common fading as found with older photographs, and numerous photos are currently stuck to the plastic sleeve.
The state funeral of John F. Kennedy, took place in Washington D.C. during the three days that followed his assassination on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. The body of President Kennedy was brought back to Washington soon after his death and was placed in the East Room of the White House for 24 hours. On the Sunday after the assassination, his flag-draped casket was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state.
Jacqueline Kennedy had no regrets about refusing to take the blood-stained pink Chanel suit off after the assassination of her husband
her only regret was that she had washed the blood off her face before Johnson was sworn in. When Jacqueline Kennedy finally removed her suit the following morning, her maid folded it and placed it in a box. Some days after the assassination this box was dispatched to Kennedy's mother, Janet Lee Auchincloss, who wrote "November 22nd 1963" on the top of the box and stored it in her attic. Eventually the box was given to the National Archives in Maryland, together with an unsigned note bearing the Auchincloss letterhead stationery. The note read: "Jackie's suit and bag worn Nov. 22, 1963". The suit, which was never cleaned, is kept out of public view in "an acid-free container in a windowless room ... the precise location is kept secret.
A phenomenal set of photos during one of the very somber periods of our Country. These photos were taken by Kennedy's personal White House photographer and bear his unique numbering system on verso, with reference to the original negatives, these were his own file examples.
This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
