DescriptionOriginal 35mm color slide of the Kennedy limousine at Dallas Love Field on November 22, 1963. President and Mrs. Kennedy are visible in the rear seat while Governor John Connally and Nellie Connally are seated in fold-out jump seats in front of the Kennedys.

Both President Kennedy and Governor Connally have arms extended from the vehicle, pointing and motioning towards something in front of and to the right of the presidential limousine.

Curatorial Commentary

Richard Tullius was part of a group of amateur photographers that planned to pool their photos from the weekend of the Kennedy assassination into a collection of slides that could be packaged for sale. This project never materialized, but Mr. Tullius donated a full set of the slides from this project to the Museum in 2013. - Stephanie Allen-Givens, Collections and Exhibits Manager
