Vintage pearl-finish 10 x 8 LOOK magazine photo of Kennedy chatting with LOOK magazine’s Sue Seay, signed and inscribed in the lower border in black ink “For Sue Seay—with warmest personal regards, John F. Kennedy.” Scattered creasing and staining to image, a few creases lightly affecting signature and inscription, and irregular ink adhesion to both signature and inscription, otherwise very good condition. The April 26, 1960, issue of LOOK Magazine includes a copiously illustrated seven-page article titled “To meet the elite…all you need is gall” by Sue Seay (pages 42–48). In this special Washington, D.C. issue, this article is headed “Washington Party Crasher.” It begins, “President Eisenhower and I were among the hundreds of guests at Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen’s birthday party this year. Mr. Eisenhower, of course, had been invited. I had not…I was there on business. Strangers to the capital, a photographer and I had been assigned by LOOK to crash Washington parties…” This photograph is reproduced in the article and is captioned: “JOHN F. KENNEDY. When I introduced myself to the Senator, he said, ‘Sue, why yes, of course.’ He acted as though we’d met before, but we hadn’t. I think he still looks like a Harvard undergraduate, although he has done something different with his hair. It doesn’t fall down on his forehead any longer. His wife looked divine. I wish I could wear shocking pink as well as she does. I stayed around Mrs. Kennedy only a short time, because she is too much competition.” Accompanied by a full issue of LOOK magazine as well as an unsigned photo of Seay meeting Richard Nixon, also reproduced in the article. An unusual image of Kennedy caught with his guard down backed by excellent provenance.
