ROBERT F. KENNEDY DURING HIS 1968 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN—JAMES J. STAPLETON ESTATE PHOTOGRAPH

Item #1743

Striking close-up photograph of Senator Robert F. Kennedy greeting a racially mixed crowd during his 1968 presidential campaign, taken only a month before his assassination. An 8" x 10" gelatin silver photograph stamped “Clennon Photo” and “Whitefriars Hall, Carmelite Fathers, 1600 Webster Street, N.E., Washington 17, D.C.” on the verso and dated May 5, 1968.

From the estate of James J. Stapleton, a Massachusetts Democratic political figure associated with the Kennedy campaigns, and acquired with other Kennedy political and inaugural material. The verso date may record either the photograph’s creation or its receipt at Whitefriars Hall; Kennedy was campaigning in Indiana immediately before that state’s May 7 primary. Light handling wear with a faint crease near the upper edge; otherwise very good.

Price: $100.00
