Image of Dealey Plaza on Monday, November 25, 1963
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a staff photographer from The Dallas Morning News. Crowds of people and vehicle traffic move through Dealey Plaza on Monday, November 25, 1963, the day of the funerals of President Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, and slain Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit.The image was taken from the south side of Dealey Plaza, looking north toward the Texas School Book Depository. Traffic moves into the city on Commerce and Main streets in the foreground, while more cars head out of the city to the west on Elm Street on the far side of the plaza. Crowds of people stand amongst the flower arrangements that have been left in tribute to the fallen president on either side of Elm Street, near where the president's limousine was when he was shot.

This photograph, part of a series showing the Texas School Book Depository and Dealey Plaza from a variety of angles, was likely taken by Dallas Morning News staff photographer Bill Winfrey. In a 2004 oral history with the Museum, Winfrey recalled taking a series of photographs of the area in the hopes of creating a panoramic perspective of the site. Ultimately, he decided not to print the photographs. "I never printed them," he recalled. "It's a lot of work to print them, and who needs them?" Today, these images offer interesting and historically significant views of Dealey Plaza from several rarely seen vantage points. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
