(KENNEDY ASSASSINATION PHOTOGRAPHS)
A very rare grouping of twelve color slides showing John F. Kennedy's final moments before he was cut down by an assassin's bullet. The photos were taken by amateur photographer Frank Willis who, with his wife and two daughters, witnessed the events leading to the assassination, and the moments following the shooting. The slides start with the President's car at Main and Houston, Kennedy's last wave just seconds before the shooting, a photo taken almost at the very moment Kennedy was struck by the first bullet, the search for and questioning of suspects outside the Texas School Book Depository, police sealing off the building, and so on. Also included are two sets of color prints taken from the slides, Willis' 1964 image-by -image description of the events photographed, and a letter from Mrs. Willis presenting the photos.
