LIFE Magazine, January 27, 1961 - The Kennedy Inauguration

A vintage copy of LIFE magazine, dated January 27, 1961, commemorating "The Kennedy Inauguration". The cover features a color photograph depicting a crowd of people, with the primary focus on President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, along with another gentleman, seated in a vehicle during the inaugural parade. The magazine measures approximately standard magazine size and is constructed of paper. The predominant colors are full color for the cover image with the prominent red Life logo and bar at the bottom. The cover shows signs of wear, including some creasing along the edges and potential surface dirt. There is a white label affixed to the lower left corner of the cover, likely a subscriber label. The price of the magazine, "20 CENTS", is clearly visible in the lower right corner. The title "LIFE" is displayed in large white block letters on a red background in the upper left corner. The headline "THE KENNEDY INAUGURATION" is positioned below the Life logo. The overall condition appears to be fair to good, with evident signs of age and handling. There are no immediate signs of major damage such as tears or water stains visible in the image.
