Kennedy's
trip to
Venezuela
and Colombia in December 1961, and it also
attempts to show the early success of President
Kennedy's
"Alliance for Progress" in these South American nations.
In addition to this being a very interesting historical video, there is footage of the First Lady in which you can easily imagine when, where, and why the First Lady was photographed for the offered image.
The overall condition is very good to excellent. It does have some creases, and handling ware. The
condition of the main central image is superb with most wear, and creases limited primarily to the outer edges, and corners of the photo. With proper mating, and framing, most flaws would be covered leaving, an essentially overall fantastic image. All four corners do have creases. There is edge ware. Jackie O, the little girl, and the gentleman in the background are free of defects aside from the noted edge ware, and a small crease on the arms of the gentleman holding the umbrellas. On Jackie's shoulder, near the left edge, there is a small black line. It appears to be in the image, and does little to detract for the superb image. Other then the noted handling  flaws on the edges and corners, there is a crease above, and to the right of Jackie's head under the umbrella.
Several actual digital camera pictures, and scans have been provided for your thorough review. Some cropped images have also been provided showing how photo would appear as a superb fantastic image if it were properly matted. As an oversized photo is 14 inches long.
