(KENNEDY ASSASSINATION PHOTO)
An especially rare one-of-a-kind original photograph of Kennedy taken in San Antonio, Texas on November 21, 1963, the day before he would be shot at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. The color photo measures 5"" x 3 1/2"" and depicts Kennedy and his wife seated in the rear of the same black limousine he would be shot in the next day, with Kennedy leaning toward and facing the camera, the limousine flanked by two motorcycle policemen and a heavily-staffed Secret Service chase care behind, as the motorcade proceeded down Military Drive. The history of this photo is rather bizarre: i was found in the attic of a San Antonio house by its new owner, stored with a Thomson submachine gun (in working order), several rifles, and an MAB pistol. No explanation has been found for the photo and guns being abandoned in the residence. Accompanied by the homeowner's original letter of provenance, the photo and descriptive text beautifully framed in burled walnut. Fine. Photos of Kennedy in the days preceding the assassination are excessively rare! 2350
