Mrs. Kennedy is turned toward the crowd, and her left side is facing the camera; the bouquet of roses she is holding points at the camera.  \r\n\r\nTo the left of Mrs. Kennedy is a man in a suit wearing sunglasses.  Behind President Kennedy appears Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman who is followed by another man in a suit.  Behind him is Lady Bird Johnson followed by Vice President Johnson.\r\n\r\nThe crowds appear across the middle of the image; they are closer on the left side. The Kennedys and their entourage are between the crowds and the photographer. Several people, including one child, appear elevated above the crowd; there is also a man holding onto a light post on the upper right side.  \r\n\r\nThe photographer was either elevated or had raised his camera over his head to take the image. In the lower right corner, there is another photographer's camera and hand.\r\n\r\nThere are streaks in the image; they show up prominently in the sky and on the hand in the lower right corner."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Film"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":[{"mediaURL":"https://emuseum.jfk.org/internal/media/dispatcher/24931/full","displayOrder":"0","mediaType":"Image","mediaId":"24931"}]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Image of President and Jackie Kennedy greeting the crowd at Love Field"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Photographs"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"/internal/media/dispatcher/24931/full"},"depth":{"label":"Depth","value":["0E-10"]},"thesconcepts":{"label":"Terms","value":["Roses","Crowds","Trip to Texas","Photographs","Press","Hill, Clint","Johnson, Lady Bird","Johnson, Lyndon B.","Kellerman, Roy","Dillard, Tom C.","Kennedy, Jacqueline","Kennedy, John F.","The Dallas Morning News","Secret Service","Love Field","Dallas"]},"culture":{"label":"Object","value":"Negative (b&w)"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"11/22/1963"},"width":{"label":"Width","value":["3.6000000000"]},"textEntriesTextentries":{"label":"Curatorial Commentary","value":["The young man on the far right who is standing above the crowd and holding the light pole is Wes Stewart, a sophomore at Jesuit High School in 1963. A few weeks prior to President Kennedy's visit, Stewart broke a thumb during a fight at school, which is why his right hand appears in a cast in some photographs. Stewart arrived two hours prior to the landing of Air Force One and, not wanting to miss his opportunity to see the president up close, he climbed on top of the chain link fence and steadied himself by holding the light pole with his left hand. In a 2017 oral history, he explained that just as the Kennedys got to his position, somebody tried to pull him down from his position, nearly causing him to fall and preventing him from shaking hands or having any encounter with the president or first lady. Nevertheless, Stewart appears in several photographs and news footage that day, clearly visible because of his position above the crowd. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"64106"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"15/16 × 1 7/16 in.
