(KENNEDY, JOHN F.) Group of press photographs from Kennedy's senatorial career and presidential campaign. 136 photographs, most about 8 x 10 inches, a few smaller; many captioned in the image, many with inked Associated Press stamps and/or editorial marks from the Worcester Telegram & Gazette on verso, some with related newspaper clippings taped to verso, a few with crop marks or retouching, condition generally strong. Vp, 1953-60

Additional Details

These come from the files of a Massachusetts newspaper which undoubtedly took special interest in Kennedy's successful 1960 presidential campaign. 14 of the photographs date from before 1960, including a 1953 wedding photograph (retouched). Three photographs of Kennedy as a young man in the 1940s were apparently printed in the 1960s.
