Silver gelatin photo from the personal collection of John F. Kennedy's White House photographer, Cecil W. Stoughton, who captured the iconic photo of Lyndon B. Johnson's inauguration aboard Air Force One after JFK was assassinated. In this unpublished photo, Johnson speaks to Judge Sarah T. Hughes shortly before the proceedings began. Other individuals in the background look visibly distraught. Photo is from the personal collection of Stoughton, who said that while he was uncomfortable taking the photos, he believed he needed to document it as an important record of history. Glossy photo measures 10'' x 8'', marked ''1'' in red pencil on the verso, possibly meaning this was the first photo Stoughton took aboard the plane. Also marked ''1'' in red to lower right margin. Very light creasing, else near fine.
