Kennedy, John F. (1917-1963) - Signed photograph AS PRESIDENT
35. President of the United States.
Excellent matte-finish
signed photograph “For Bob Goldberg - with warmest regards from his friend John
F. Kennedy”. 8.0 x 10.0 inch, n.p., n.d. Portrait photo of Massachusetts
Senator John F. Kennedy taken after being nominated as the Democratic
presidential candidate in August of 1960, signed and inscribed in the lower
border in dark fountain pen. Inscribed to Robert (Bob) Goldberg, the son of Arthur
J. Goldberg. Arthur Joseph Goldberg (1908-1990) - American statesman and jurist
who served as the 9th U.S. Secretary of Labor, an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and the 6th United States Ambassador to the
United Nations. Minor handling wear, else fine condition. Although taken in the
summer of 1960 by Alfred Eisenstaedt, this was the preferred portrait JFK would
sign and give out during the beginning of his administration. Excellent
provenance and fine connection to a member of the Kennedy administration and
one of the finest signed JFK photos you can hope to find. Comes together with
my book “John F. Kennedy – autograph study” - about 90 pages with hundreds of
signatures (authentic, secretary, Autopen, stamps, facsimile etc.).
COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY BY ANDREAS WIEMER HISTORICAL AUTOGRAPHS. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
