Overview

An original issue of the Long Island Press from Monday, November 25, 1963, Suffolk Edition, the day of President John F. Kennedy's funeral. The front page carries the banner headline "A Nation Mourns," with a photo of mourners lining the sidewalk before the Capitol as night falls, and the lead story "U.S., World Bid Final Farewell to John F. Kennedy." A second front-page story reports that Oswald left a blueprint for murder, beside a close-up photo of Jacqueline Kennedy. Inside, AP Wirephotos show Mrs. Kennedy leaving the Rotunda and Caroline Kennedy beside her father's coffin, alongside schoolchildren's tributes under "They'll Never Forget 'This One President'." Other pages carry Long Island news and period advertisements, including a store's notice joining the nation in mourning. 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

This edition was printed on the day President Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, the day after Lee Harvey Oswald was shot in Dallas. The masthead shows the Suffolk Edition, No. 3188 and the five-cent price. The issue has multiple sections, with inside pages and advertisements.

Condition

Good vintage condition for newsprint of this age. There is toning throughout, a central fold, light edge wear with small chips mainly along the top edge, and a small creased corner at the top right. Please see all photos.
