Overview

The main news section of The New York Times from Sunday, November 24, 1963, Late City Edition, two days after President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas. The front page carries the three-line headline "Kennedy's Body Lies in White House; Johnson at Helm With Wide Backing; Police Say Prisoner Is the Assassin," over a large Associated Press photo of the flag-draped coffin in the East Room with a military guard of honor. The front page also prints President Johnson's proclamation of a national day of mourning in full, with the stories "Johnson Orders Day of Mourning," "Evidence Against Oswald Described as Conclusive," "Khrushchev Pays Special Respects," "Capital Weighing Political Effect," "Rites Tomorrow" and "Aldous Huxley Dies of Cancer on Coast." Inside pages carry more news and period advertisements, including a full page of school and education ads. 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 went to press on the night of November 23, 1963, a few hours before Lee Harvey Oswald was shot in Dallas on the morning of November 24, so it reports him still in police custody. A note on the front page explains that the main news section ran as one part only, because advertisers cut back their notices out of respect for the President. The masthead shows Vol. CXIII, No. 38,655, Section One and the thirty-cent Sunday price.

Condition

Fair vintage condition for newsprint of this age. There is toning throughout and a central fold, with tears and small losses along the fold across the lower edge of the front-page photo. The right and bottom edges have chipping, short tears and some small losses, and the top edge has light chipping. The headlines and most of the text are clear and readable. Please see all photos.
