Item Details
Description
Nikkor 105mm 1:2.5 Camera Lens by Nikon. Manufactured after 1975. Owned and used by Jacqueline Kennedy.

After Jacqueline Bouvier was graduated from George Washington University, she started her first job in the fall of 1951 as the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for the Washington Times-Herald newspaper. Roving around the city, she took pictures of people she encountered, asked them questions on the issues of the day, and wove their answers into her newspaper column. She also covered the 1951 inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower and the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It was during this time she met Massachusetts Congressman, soon to be U.S. Senator, John F. Kennedy. The United Press headlined their June 25, 1953, story: "Senator Kennedy / Says He'll Wed / Ex-Camera Girl."

Included with this lot are the original receipt from Sotheby's as well as several photographs of Jackie using cameras and photographs she took.

Provenance : Jacqueline Kennedy Sotheby's Auction of the Kennedy Family Homes 2005 The Frank Harvey Kennedy Collection.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
