Rare Kennedy Photographs

KENNEDY-RELATED
PHOTOGRAPHS;
BEFORE AND AFTER
PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S
ASSASSINATION:
------------------------------------
I recently took note of the following beautiful color photograph, which
was taken at Love Field in Dallas on November 22, 1963, just seconds
before Jackie Kennedy was handed a bouquet of red roses by Mrs. Earle
Cabell (the wife of the Dallas mayor):
http://216.122.129.112/dc/user_files/9396.jpg
The above photo is one I had never seen until very recently....which
goes to illustrate the vast amount of material (photos, documents,
etc.) that is out there in the public domain that some people may not
have seen in the past -- even a person with a great interest in looking
at virtually everything connected with President John F. Kennedy's
assassination.
The picture above exhibits fabulous color, as can be seen. It is one of
a series of Love Field photos snapped by White House photographer Cecil
Stoughton on the day of JFK's death.
Here's another rarely-published color photo (taken by Stoughton) of the
Kennedys amongst the crowd at Love Field on November 22nd. JFK, Jackie,
and Secret Service man Clint Hill are clearly visible:

This is a rare black-and-white picture showing JFK and Jackie greeting
the well-wishers at Love Field. The large size of the airport crowd is
clearly evident in this photo:

Here's a rarely-seen angle of the Kennedys deplaning at Love Field:

The above picture was taken by Robert Jackson of the Dallas Times
Herald. Jackson, just a short time after he took that photo, would be
one of the very few witnesses who would observe a rifle being withdrawn
into a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository within
seconds of the last gunshot being fired at JFK in Dealey Plaza. Jackson
would also go on to earn a Pulitzer Prize for his famous picture
showing Jack Ruby murdering Lee Harvey Oswald. Although certainly not a
"rare" photo by any means, here is Jackson's Prize-winning snapshot
(complete, uncropped version):

Here's a really rare one -- an aerial view of the JFK limousine in the
Dallas motorcade on 11/22/63. Note that driver Bill Greer has his door
ajar for some reason (perhaps the car is completely stopped; it stopped
twice during the parade):

Another rarely-published pic of the Dallas motorcade and the heavy
crowds that JFK and the First Lady encountered on November 22, 1963:

Main and Houston Streets in Dallas, with the Book Depository visible in
the background:

A few minutes after the President was shot, we see people rushing
toward the "Grassy Knoll" area. Visible in this photo are Charles Brehm
and Mary Moorman:

The scene at the Parkland Hospital emergency entrance. The Presidential
limo is visible under the overhang:

Another "First Family" photograph:

This one's a bit eerie -- Jackie has on the same pink suit she wore in
Dallas, minus the pillbox hat here. If it's not the same outfit, she
must have had two exactly alike. In addition to this picture, there's
also at least one other photo showing Jackie wearing this pink suit at
a time other than 11/22/63:

My all-time favorite photo of Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis (I love this
woman):

this woman; ~wink~):

BTW, this Lincoln convertible (seen below) is not the same limo that
JFK was riding in during the Dallas motorcade. This one isn't a
"stretch" limo, and lacks the middle "jump" seats:

course, the overhead cross-bar):

Yes, I know that, Martin. I just didn't specifically identify Weaver by
name as the cameraman.
Regardless of photographer, it IS still an "eerie" hunk of imagery.

Weaver by name as the cameraman."
David H: "Get on the ball -- you're not paid to forget major points
like that."
DVP: I didn't "forget". I simply didn't mention the photographer's
name. Just as I didn't mention the cameraman's name for gobs of the
other pics I posted either.

Gotta be a photo conspiracy.
What else could it be?
Anyway....the majority of the above pics I had never seen before until
fairly recently. If you've seen them, though, Marty....good for you.
