Unbound
by STOUCH, Dudley L.
Unbound. Fine. An archive of 48 gelatin silver photographs. 45 of the photographs are 8" x 10" inches, and are slightly curled and very near fine. Two are 7.5" x 9.5" and are mounted on board, and are fine. One is 14" x 11", printed on cardstock, and has a short tear, very good. There are a few duplicates, or more likely near duplicates taken with a fast shutter speed.
Photographs by Dudley L. Stouch, a staff photographer for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, each with his stamp on the verso, many also with Stouch's holograph notations. The images are of President John F. Kennedy's visit to Central Pennsylvania to stump for the Democrats during the 1962 midterm elections. All but a few of the images are of Kennedy, a handful are of the press or of the crowd.
The photographs detail Kennedy's entire trip, from his arrival at Capital City Airport by helicopter, delivering speeches there and in nearby New Cumberland, his motorcade to Harrisburg, and his speech at a Democratic fundraiser held in the state fairgrounds' Farm Show building. In addition to numerous photographs of Kennedy, the archive contains images of several important figures in Pennsylvania politics, both interacting and observing Kennedy, including US Senator Joseph S. Clark and Governor David Lawrence, whose reelection campaign was a focus of Kennedy's visit. Presumably Stouch took these in his capacity working for the Turnpike, but as near as we can determine, they constitute an unpublished and previously unknown collection of Kennedy photographs taken at the midpoint of his short lived presidency.
