This image displays an open, aged scrapbook page filled with newspaper clippings and advertisements from December 1963. The page is part of a collection documenting contemporaneous public reactions and events surrounding the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy earlier that month.
The central and most prominent feature is a large photograph with the caption “First Public Showing Of JFK Painting.” The photo shows several people gathered around a newly unveiled oil portrait of President Kennedy. A man, identified in the caption as Mayor Edward A. Crane of Cambridge, is seen assisting with the unveiling. The portrait itself depicts a seated JFK in a suit and tie. According to the caption below the photo, the oil painting was created by William Draper of New York, based on a sitting from April 1963, and was loaned from the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University for the exhibit.
