Description

One-of-a-kind inauguration photo taken from “front row seats along the parade route”

Original vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo of John and Jacqueline Kennedy riding in a convertible during the inaugural parade on January 20, 1961. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the daughter of Kennedy's friend and governor of Rhode Island, John A. Notte, Jr., in part: "This picture of the Kennedys on inauguration day, January 20, 1961, is one of a kind. I along with my family went to Washington D.C. for the inauguration…My father, at his own expense, took along his personal state photographer…We had front row seats along the parade route…This picture has never been published-it has always been in my family." An outstanding image that perfectly captures exuberance of the day.
