Pair of small-format albums with nearly 80 snapshots made of a television screen in the aftermath of
John F. Kennedy’s assassination.These sobering photographs primarily document JFK’s funeral, and
include several images of Jackie Kennedy in her black veil as well as Robert Kennedy, one of Caroline
with Jackie in front of the casket, the walking procession in Washington, the flag-draped casket,
service, and burial at Arlington Cemetery.A few early images appear to be a look back at November
22nd (the album opens with a shot of the screen title “The Four Dark Days”), with shots of the
Kennedys’ arrival and motorcade in Dallas.The end of the second album shows Lee Harvey Oswald’s
murder, including one perfectly-timed shot that includes Jack Ruby (the last image in the set). Silver
prints, each 3x4
