Image 5 from Negative Strip 21: Trade Mart of tables being set up at the Dallas Trade Mart
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image taken from an upper level of the Dallas Trade Mart shows the banquet tables being setup on November 21, 1963. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. The image is labeled #5 on section 1 of negative strip 21. This image was likely taken by either Bill Beal or Bob Jackson, two Dallas Times Herald staff photographers at the Dallas Trade Mart that day. It is unknown which of the two men took these pictures.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip indicate that the photographer might have been John Mazziotta. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that it was more likely these pre-assassination images were taken by either Bill Beal or Bob Jackson.
