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. Although Stoughton published only one image from the ceremony, he captured approximately 16 more, of which this is one, closely resembling the published photo but with the expressions on Jackie, LBJ and Lady Bird's faces all slightly different. This unpublished double weight photo is from the personal collection of Stoughton, and housed in his custom red leather photo album, which has ''CWS'' and ''Inauguration Nov. 1963'' stamped in gilt on spine. Album is lined in red damask silk, and measures 9.5'' x 10.75''. Some light wear and rubbing to gilt, very good condition. Glossy photo measures 10'' x 8'', marked ''12'' in red pencil on the verso. Near fine condition.
