Original first-generation 10 x 8 glossy photo of of John and Robert Kennedy seated at a dinner table, John sitting at the head and Robert reaching down to pet a dog, with Ethel hidden by his side and close friend Lem Billings talking with another gentleman across the room. Reverse of photo bears a Three Lions Inc. stamp. In fine condition. John and Jackie much preferred small dinners with close friends to the official parties that so frequently consumed their evenings. According to Suero, the couple was joined by four guests on this particular evening—Robert, Ethel, Lem, and an unidentified gentleman—and two dogs, including Bobby and Ethel’s German shepherd puppy shown in this picture. A wonderful image of the brothers in a casual moment after dinner. Published in Camelot at Dawn, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001. RR Auction COA.
