Exceptional original glossy 8 x 10 press photo of Kennedy addressing the audience during his birthday party at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962. Stamp-dated May 20, 1962, on the reverse and accompanied by two previously affixed press captions identifying the photo. In fine condition, with slight rippling to edges. An absolutely gorgeous image that captures the essence of the night, showing the president at a dramatically lit podium with balloons in the rafters. A bit earlier in the program, Marilyn Monroe had performed her infamous ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President.’ RR Auction COA.
