(KENNEDY, JOHN F.)
(LEE HARVEY OSWALD) (1939 - 1963) American assassin of President John F. Kennedy who Oswald shot in Dallas, November 22, 1963. Oswald was in turn murdered by nightclub owner Jack Ruby days later. A superb Oswald item, an original oversize photograph taken at his funeral, 11" x 14" b/w, Fort Worth, Nov. 25, 1963, showing his coffin with brass plaque at the foreground, with his brother Earl, his mother Marguerite, who is holding his baby, and wife Marina holding their other child, looking sadly at the coffin. A wonderfully evocative image, in fine condition. Taken by Fort Worth-based photojournalist Gene Gordon, and sold with a copy of a letter from him recollecting the day Kennedy was shot. Fine condition.
