Such displays were based upon the photographic series taken by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton during the brief swearing-in ceremony. A nearly identical display was also part of the Southwestern Historical Wax Museum in Dallas (later Grand Prairie, Texas). The Dallas exhibit was destroyed by fire in 1988.\r\nThis wax tableau was part of the Parade of Presidents Wax Museum when it opened in 1971. Unlike most of the wax museums opened in the 1960s and 1970s, this particular museum is still open for business. Now called the National Presidential Wax Museum, visitors in 2012 can still see this original wax display. Since the production of this post card, however, a figure of grief-stricken Jackie Kennedy has been added to the scene. In this same wax museum, visitors can also encounter a vignette depicting President Kennedy and his son inside the Oval Office (2011.048.0001). - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"65094"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"4 x 6 in.
