Description

Very rare and hard-to-find Kennedy-Bouvier wedding invitation, 4.25 x 5.75, reading, in full: "Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Dudley Auchincloss request the honor of your presence at the marriage of Mrs. Auchincloss' daughter Jacqueline Lee Bouvier to the Honorable John Fitzgerald Kennedy, United States Senate, on Saturday, the twelfth of September at eleven o'clock, Saint Mary's Church, Spring Street, Newport, Rhode Island." In fine condition, with two old tape stains on the back. The much-publicized wedding of John and Jacqueline featured a massive guest list of over 800 that included senators and congressmen, Bay State political figures, and several Hollywood luminaries, with the nuptial mass conducted by Cardinal Cushing, the esteemed Archbishop of Boston. Accompanied by a modern print of a wedding photo.

From the collection of Ronald E.F. Hoskins.
