Remembering Jack: Intimate and Unseen Photographs of the Kennedys Book

Snapped up this book for a fiver from the local Oxfam shop. Over four hundred pages of 35mm black and white photographs taken by Jacques Lowe after being given privileged access to the Kennedy clan during the 'golden time'. There are more than six hundred pictures in this collection, half of them previously unseen.
Intimate and happy family shots beginning in 1956 with a thirty year old Robert Kennedy at Hickory Hill before Lowe began taking portraits of John Kennedy, the Senator, in 1958, followed by JFK on the campaign trail for the presidency in 1959, shots of the inauguration and finally in the White House up to the summer of 1961. There are also family shots of a twenty nine year old Ted with wife Joan at their home in Boston and at Hyannis.
The sequence ends at Arlington.
Sadly, Lowe's collection of negatives were destroyed in the World Trade Centre in 2001. His daughter Thomasina authorised this publication in 2003 from existing prints and contact sheets. Introduction and superb commentary throughout from Hugh Sidey and contributions from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tom Wolfe.
For dedicated 'Kennedyphiles' with a listed price of £30, this is a snip! A beautiful book.
