Image 4 from Negative Strip 16: Parkland of a small crowd gathered outside Parkland Hospital, with a police officer in the foreground
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows the crowd and hospital staff outside Parkland Hospital waiting to hear news of President Kennedy's condition on November 22, 1963. Police officers stand guard around the hearse and hospital entrance. The images on this negative strip were taken by one of two Dallas Times Herald staff photographers at Parkland Hospital that day: John Mazziotta or Eamon Kennedy. It is unknown which of the two men took these pictures. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. The image is labeled #4 on section 1 of negative strip 16.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip did not identify a photographer. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that while the specific photographer cannot be identified, we do know it was one of two men: There were two DTH photographers at Parkland Hospital that day who stayed for the press conference - Eamon Kennedy and John Mazziotta. One of them took these photos. Bob Jackson, who was at Parkland earlier, was not present at the press conference, which appears in the last frames on this negative strip.
