Photo album of the 1960 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, including candid photos of Presidential candidates John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Eighteen album pages contain more than 130 black and white photos of varying sizes, from 3.5'' x 2.5'' to 10'' x 8'' from both conventions, Chicago in July for the Republicans and Los Angeles, also in July, for the Democrats. Kennedy is shown signing autographs, speaking from a podium and surrounded by crowds. One unusual shot, taken from a bird's eye view, shows throngs of admirers surrounding JFK as his Secret Service agents try to control the crowd. Kennedy's family members, including Robert Kennedy and family, are featured in other photos. Other notable Democrats include Kennedy's running mate Lyndon Johnson, Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, Sam Rayburn, Eleanor Roosevelt, Adam Clayton Powell, Averell Harriman, Henry Fonda and Frank Sinatra. The Republican photos include Nixon speaking at a podium, in a triumphant pose with running mate Henry Cabot Lodge, and with wife, Pat, and their daughters. In an especially crowd pleasing photo, Nixon and wife Pat take time to personally greet youngsters carrying signs supporting Nixon for President. President Eisenhower features in many shots. Other notable Republicans include Nelson Rockefeller. The album, assembled by a photojournalist, also contains newspaper clippings using many of the original photos. Some glue residue to photos, else near fine. Significant paper loss and separation of binding to 12.5'' x 14.75'' cover. Minor toning, paper loss and tape residue to individual pages. Overall very good. A fascinating collection.
