Souvenir TQS, signed in black ink, “Jacqueline Kennedy,” two pages, 5.5 x 8. An excerpt from her book, The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: A Portrait in Her Own Words, reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the assassination of her husband. In part: “It is nearly a year since he has been gone…So now he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man. I must believe that he does not share our suffering now. I think for him—at least he will never know whatever sadness might have been laid ahead…He is free and we must live. Those who love him must know that ‘the death you have dealt is more than the death which has swallowed you.’” Double cloth matted and framed to an overall size of 25.25 x 20.5. In very fine condition.
To lose a loved one, especially a spouse, is a devastating proposal—one which most people wish to suffer through in private. Yet First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was required to perform all of her initial grieving in public. Through the ordeal, she carried out those painful duties with such grace and dignity that, in effect, she helped the nation heal from the tragedy. A beautifully worded, tastefully presented tribute.
