Kennedy Photo Collage Appraisal

Vintage Black and White Photo Collage Featuring John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy

This item is a collection of four vintage black and white photographic prints arranged in a collage format, mounted on a white cardstock backing and protected by a transparent plastic sleeve. Specifically, the images feature the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. One notable image depicts the couple in formal evening wear, with Jackie Kennedy in a strapless gown and elbow-length gloves. Another photograph shows the couple in a vehicle, possibly a golf cart or small motorcar, during a more candid moment. The lower right image displays Kennedy in a group setting, possibly a press briefing or meeting. The photographs appear to be mid-20th-century silver gelatin prints, characterized by their high contrast and smooth tonal transitions. Condition-wise, the photographs show some slight yellowing and silvering around the edges consistent with age. The mounting board shows minor creasing at the corners, and the plastic protective sleeve is wrinkled and shows surface scuffs. There are no visible maker's marks or photographer signatures on the front, suggesting these may be news agency prints or high-quality commemorative reproductions from the early 1960s. The assembly reflects political memorabilia of the Camelot era, capturing both the formal and informal aspects of the Kennedy presidency.
