Color vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo, originally done by Fabian Bachrach, affixed to its original 9.75 x 12.5 mount, signed and inscribed on the mount in fountain pen, as president, “For Hickman Price—with esteem and best wishes, John F. Kennedy.” Hickman Price, Jr. (1911-1989) was JFK’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce from 1961 to 1963. Nicely cloth-matted and framed with a biographical plaque to an overall size of 18 x 28. In fine condition, with a mild shade of toning to mount.
On July 14, 1961, Bachrach wrote Commander Tazewell T. Shepard, Naval Aide to the President, in part, “I have had no news as yet from you about the colour print of President Kennedy which we delivered to you back in March. You will recall that this was the pose which was approved in black and white, and which was coloured by our artist in a smooth technique to look very much like a dye transfer print…I noticed it was reproduced in colour in a Spanish magazine very recently–the Blanco y Negro, published in Madrid on June 3.” Photocopies of this letter and the magazine cover are included. On July 20th, Shepard wrote Bachrach, “The President intends to limit the use of his colored photographs, distributing them only to close friends and the highest officials of the government. He asked me to have as small number of prints made from your picture.” Oversized.
