Camelot at Dawn by Orlando Suero
In January 1954, the handsome junior senator from Massachusetts and his glamorous wife moved into a three-story townhouse at 3321 Dent Place in Georgetown. Although they would live here for only five months, the house was their first home after their wedding.
A stunning collection of images of the dashing young coupleAtlanta Journal-Constitution There is something naturally sweet about these pictures that no amount of worldly skepticism or factual realism can erase. Washington Post Suero could not know it at the time, but his camera was recording the couple in just about the last window of opportunity in which Jack and Jackie could appear as happy newlyweds... In spite of various underlying tensions, Suero's photographs project an idyllic quality, capturing a time of comparative innocence. -- Ken Whelan and Cormac Bourke Ireland on Sunday The Kennedy mystique still draws flocks of people to gaze at the former president's home in Georgetown. For those who need a bit more, this photo-illustrated chronicle of John and Jackie's first foray into Washington real estate might be just perfect. Washington Post The black and white photos reveal a simpler, more innocent age. -- Helga Rich Jerusalem Post
