John F. Kennedy Funeral Polaroid Album. 1963. This album features small Polaroid pictures taken from a television broadcast of President John F. Kennedy's funeral procession in November 1963. The opening page contains a handwritten note stating, "I tried to get pictures from the TV of President John F. Kennedy's funeral procession." The black-and-white Polaroids show scenes from the procession, military formations, crowds, and close-ups of key figures, including an excited note about capturing Robert F. Kennedy. Housed in the original Polaroid-branded booklet, this collection serves as a unique artifact of a historic event as seen through early television and instant photography.
