MANFRED LINUS KREINER (1926–2005)

Title: John F. & Jacqueline Kennedy — The Presidential Motorcade on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C., January 20, 1961

DESCRIPTION:
On January 20, 1961, a few hours after John Fitzgerald Kennedy took the oath as the 35th President of the United States, the new presidential couple glides through Washington D.C. in the presidential open-top limousine. On Pennsylvania Avenue, a massive crowd gathered to welcome John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, celebrating the arrival of a new generation at the White House.

Manfred Linus Kreiner (1926–2005) captures a particularly vivid moment of this historic day. Wearing his traditional top hat, President Kennedy flashes a broad smile to the crowd, while Jacqueline Kennedy, elegant in her light-colored ensemble and matching hat, salutes the spectators with her gloved hand. The close cropping, the enthusiastic faces, and the cameras directed at the couple give this image remarkable spontaneity. An iconic photograph of the public’s enthusiasm that accompanied the early moments of Kennedy’s presidency.
