Description
John F. Kennedy: A Classic 1960 Campaign Poster in Mammoth Size. Posters in this design abounded at the 1960 Democratic National Convention and appear in many photos of that iconic event. However, the standard size is 14" x 22", and we cannot recall having seen another in this 41" x 62" size (as framed). Because of the matting, one is unable to determine the exact size of the poster without taking apart the expertly done custom frame, but the innermost opening is 42 inches tall and 27 inches wide. There is what purports to be a blue ballpoint JFK autograph in the white field about his head. While the signature has a similar feel to known Kennedy examples, it is just different enough that autograph experts we consulted, while not condemning it, were not comfortable enough to authenticate it. However, considering the awkward size and flexible nature of the surface being signed, one would not expect a "classic" JFK signature. The poster is in excellent condition, and magnificently custom-framed with multiple borders or red and blue matting. A most imposing Kennedy display item.Auction Info
