Manfred Linus Kreiner - Jacqueline Kennedy — Accueil officiel à Porto Rico, 1961

MANFRED LINUS KREINER (1926–2005)

Title: Jacqueline Kennedy — Official Welcome in Puerto Rico, December 15, 1961

DESCRIPTION:
On December 15, 1961, President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy arrive in Puerto Rico as part of an official visit. In San Juan, the presidential couple is welcomed by Governor Luis Muñoz Marín and his wife, Inés Mendoza, at a ceremony marking this stop on their Caribbean tour.

Manfred Linus Kreiner (1926–2005) captures a particularly graceful moment of Jacqueline Kennedy, standing beside Inés Mendoza with a generous bouquet of flowers in her arms. Wearing an elegant light-colored coat and matching hat, the First Lady gently closes her eyes as she raises her gloved hand to her hair in a spontaneous gesture of great elegance. Balancing ceremonial formality with natural ease, this photograph reveals all the grace, distinction, and presence that characterize Jacqueline Kennedy at her official appearances.
