Kennedy Family Collection
KFC-050-001
This photograph album, compiled by Eunice Kennedy, documents events in the lives of the Kennedy family from 1927 to 1946. An original typed inscription taped to the inside front cover reads, "I should appreciate it if no one remove pictures from this book. If you do so, it will not be so interesting for other people. Personally, I should like to keep all the pictures to look at myself, because as you know we lost all the moving pictures of you children. Many of these pictures have been lost in the past, due to the clamor of newspapermen, so please do not remove any more. Thank you. Rose Kennedy." Those pictured in photographs include Eunice Kennedy; her parents, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy and Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.; her siblings, Joseph P. “Joe” Kennedy, Jr., John F. “Jack” Kennedy, Rosemary Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy, Patricia “Pat” Kennedy, Robert F. “Bob” Kennedy, Jean Kennedy, and Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy; her grandparents, John F. “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald and Mary Josephine Hannon Fitzgerald; and family friends, including Tom Killefer, former Boston Police Commissioner Joseph F. Timilty, Patricia “Pat” Skakel, Ethel Skakel, Hugh Fraser, Torbert “Torb” Macdonald, John J. "London Jack" Kennedy, John Jacob "Jakie" Astor, and Tom Egerton. Of note are photographs of Joe, Jr., dressed in drag with his Harvard University football teammates; Rose, Jack, and Eunice in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Jack with his parents and grandparents on the night of his victory in the 1946 primary election for the Massachusetts 11th Congressional District; Joe, Jr., and Kathleen in Spain; the entire Kennedy family at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, and other locations during a trip to the French Riviera; and the family at their residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
