[Nixon, Richard]: Farewell Boarding Army One, Sequence of 20 Photos by Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer, David Hume Kennerly. Nixon Farewell Proof Sheet President Nixon resigning proved one of the landmark political events of the 20t Century and for photographer David Hume Kennerly one of the top five events he captured on camera. Offered is a contact sheet of Kennerly capturing 20 of his images during Nixons departure from the South Portico of the White House. Kennerly explains on his website that the rather grim faced and stiff wave (image 12) was the signature shot of the moment. But 40 years later, he feels it is the glance back at the White House, seen in the image just below, knowing it is his last view as President. Kennerly has signed and dated in the narrow white margin of the 20 x 16" restrike photo as well as on a mat surrounding. Photo is in excellent condition. The mat with the additional signature and inscription has scattered smudging. Estimate Value $200 - UP
