DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows the Kennedys, with Air Force One in the background, approaching an unidentified woman at Love Field on the morning of November 22, 1963. Mrs. Kennedy is almost entirely obscured by the woman in the dark hat and coat. In the background on the right, Nellie Connally, wife of Texas Governor John Connally, holds a spray of yellow roses. The images on this negative strip were taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. There were three photographers at Love Field that day: John Mazziotta, Bob Jackson and Eamon Kennedy. It is not known which of the three took the pictures on this strip.
