William E. Sauro (1929-2001)

An original black-and-white press photograph of the inauguration ceremony of President John F. Kennedy on January 20th 1961. Photo size 24×20 cm. Frame size 33×43 cm.

The fact that William E. Sauro chose a Nikon “Fisheye” camera lens on this special day meant that the newspaper readers were given a very vivid impression of the enormous crowd that attended JFK's inauguration. According to the authorities the number of people was close to one million.

Condition
