(THE ASSASSINATION OF JOHN F. KENNEDY)
A pair of photographs documenting the slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby. Silver prints, the images measuring 7 1/2x9 1/4 inches (19.1x23.5 cm.), the sheets slightly larger, each with a numeric notation (including #6 and #7) in ink on recto, and a United Press stamp on verso; one also with a photocopy of a press slug listing the sequence of images captured (this one circled #6 "Ruby points a gun at Oswald," the other #7 is captioned "Ruby drives it into his ribs and fires one shot. Oswald slumps, while a policeman who has seen the assailant shouts, 'Jack, you son of a bitch.'"). 1963
