All original, from 60 years ago.
Loads of photos and articles on the subject, the swearing in of Lyndon Johnson on Air Force 1, as well as a wide variety of other period things. THIS COVER STORY WAS THE BIGGEST THING IN THE POLITICAL WORLD EVER, BIGGER THAN ANYTHING BEFORE OR SINCE. Absolutely shocking at the time.

The fancy leather album has 35 large pages, of which 22 are filled with clippings. And they are LARGE size pages, each measuring 12" x 14". ANY OF THESE PAGES ARE QUITE SUITABLE FOR FRAMING!!!.
Great content with full details, as it happened, INCLUDING THE FIRST DAY, of one of the most historical and significant events of the 20th century. He died at 2pm on the 22nd, and here it is already IN THAT DAY'S PAPER. GREAT READING AND GREAT ITEMS IN THIS LOT FOR THE COLLECTOR. In good-very good condition overall. The cover page of the album separated from the spine, but was re-attached.

A great lot for the historian, for a collection, and even a GREAT GIFT AND A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR SOMEONE OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION to learn about it. And great for framing for anyone, for the family room, man cave, or an office wall.
