In January, 2009, the historical inauguration of Democratic nominee Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States will occur in Washington, D.C. Approximately 48 years ago, in January, 1961, another historical inauguration of a Democratic nominee as President of the United States occurred with the inauguration of John Fitzgerald Kennedy .

We are selling an historic collection of sixty (60) (t are two copies of Image No. One although we numbered only the first one), 8" x 10" original photographs taken during and preceding President's Kennedy's inauguration. Some of these photographs were taken at a parade which occurred on January 1, 1961, and some were taken on the date of the inauguration, January 20, 1961. The date of each photograph is identified below. All of these photographs were taken by the Department of the Army and are described individually as follows:

(1) The following Image No. 1 is a color photograph of President and Mrs. Kennedy in the Presidential limousine in a parade route. This photograph is one of the extremely rare occasions in which President Kennedy is photographed wearing "head-wear", as in he is seen wearing the traditional top-hat. This photograph appears to have been taken with the use of a "flash-bulb". This photograph has two slight creases as shown in the image below but neither of which adversely affects the image. On the reverse side of this photograph is stamped No. 28421 and the date Jan. 1, 1961.
