Description

Extraordinary first generation 20” x 24” silver gelatin photograph printed from the original 4” x 5” negative of Kennedy marching in the 1946 Charlestown Bunker Hill Day parade on June 17, 1946, hat in hand, showing him in full stride, elegant, handsome and smiling broadly at a young boy at his side mirroring his steps. In very fine museum-quality condition.

This image was featured as a double-page 'spread' in the LIFE Magazine JFK 'special edition' commemorating JFK’s 100th birthday on May 29, 2017. A rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant youthful image of JFK displaying his commanding presence, to be counted as one of the finest photographs of Kennedy ever taken.
