President John F. Kennedy Reading Notes — Vintage Gelatin Silver Photograph by James A. Langone, Signed

¤1,100.00

Overview Striking vintage black‑and‑white photograph of President John F. Kennedy, captured by photographer James A. Langone. A quiet moment shows JFK reviewing notes—intimate and decidedly mid‑century in mood. The print is signed in pencil by Langone at the lower margin. (Note: the photograph is not signed by Kennedy.) Condition Good vintage condition with gentle handling consistent with age. Warm cream paper tone; light edge/corner wear under close inspection. No tears or losses. Pencil signature reads clearly. Dimensions Image/sheet (approx.): 9¾ in H × 7¾ in W (24.8 × 19.7 cm). Unframed. Highlights • Vintage gelatin silver print on fiber paper (plain, unprinted verso; warm base tone). • Signed in pencil by photographer James A. Langone. • Calm, candid JFK subject—less common than podium or handshake images. • Classic mid‑century tonal range; ready to frame. Why you’ll love it Historically resonant yet decor‑friendly: the restrained, candid moment reads beautifully in modern or traditional interiors. A terrific anchor for a study, library, or gallery wall. For Kennedy admirers, this photograph is a rare memento rarely seen. Styling Suggestions Float‑mount in a slim black or walnut frame with UV‑filter glazing. Pair with other monochrome works, campaign ephemera, or mid‑century design objects for a focused vignette. Dating & Background Gelatin silver photograph on fiber paper, **c. 1960–63** (vintage print from the period), based on paper and surface characteristics: plain/unprinted verso, warm cream baryta base, and the absence of resin‑coated paper cues. Signed in graphite by **James A. Langone** at the lower margin. Subject: President John F. Kennedy reading notes, likely during campaign or presidential duties. Care Display out of direct sunlight; use UV‑filter glazing. Handle by edges only. Store flat in acid‑free materials when not displayed. Sale is for the physical print only—no reproduction rights are conveyed.
