Description

Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Senator John F. Kennedy in a handsome suit and tie, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint to his driver, "To L.W. Ross, with best wishes, John Kennedy.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and moderate handwriting contrast.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "On October 25, 1959, I drove Senator John F. Kennedy in the parade to the LeClaire Hotel, where he addressed a $5.00 a plate dinner in the Top Hat Room. Later a group of us went back to the VIP Suite and Jack asked, 'If we would mind if he had a beer.' I said, no, go ahead, and he asked me for a can of Millers. He asked me if there was anything he could do for me. I said I collect autographs and I would appreciate an autograph picture of him to be mailed to me when he got back to Washington. He said, 'I will give one to you right now.' He asked one of his Aides for a photograph of himself. He was sitting between me and my wife when he signed it."
