Dramatic signed presentation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, one of the most consequential events of the 20th century that begs the ''what if'' question of how his full Presidency might have altered American history. Below a PSA encapsulated Type III photo of the Zapruder film, showing the exact moment of the gunshot, the autographs of Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald are displayed next to a swatch of the actual fabric that lined the Presidential limousine transporting John and Jackie Kennedy that day.
Visible portion of Kennedy's signature measures 2.125'' x 1'', boldly signed ''John Kennedy'' in black fountain pen. Oswald's signature, measuring 1.75'' x .75'', is boldly signed ''Lee Oswald'' in blue ballpoint. Signatures frame the swatch of limousine fabric, which measures approximately .25'' square, encapsulated by CAG. Photo, showing two frames of the Zapruder film, measures 7'' x 9.5'', encapsulated and identified by PSA as a Type III photo, meaning that it was developed in or shortly after 1963 from a wire photo. Entire display measures 16.25'' x 24.5''. Ding to lower right corner of mat, able to be framed out, otherwise near fine. Accompanied by University Archives COAs for both Kennedy and Oswald signatures, and an additional PSA/DNA COA for Kennedy.
