Overview

The front section of The Evening Sun, Baltimore, from Monday, November 25, 1963, the day of President John F. Kennedy's funeral. The front page carries the banner headline "Mourning Nation Paying Last Tribute To Kennedy," with a large photo across the center and the line "World's Mighty Arrive In D.C." below it. Other front-page stories report an assassination plan found in Oswald's room, kings and princes joining the ceremonies, President Johnson receiving world leaders, and reaction abroad to Oswald's death. It is the 5 Star edition. The paper has a warm tan tone and suits a history collection, or the front page can be framed for a study, office or library wall.

Background

The Evening Sun was Baltimore's afternoon newspaper. This edition was printed the day after Lee Harvey Oswald was shot in Dallas, and on the day President Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery; the front-page datelines read November 25. The front-page index notes the paper was printed in four sections that day, and this listing is the front section.

Condition

Fair to good vintage condition for newsprint of this age. There is toning throughout, with chips and small tears along the edges and the fold, and some small losses at the edges. The headlines and front-page photo are clear. Please see all photos.
