Profusely illustrated with 600 tritone photographs. "An incomparable family album called Remembering Jack . unfolds in candid, home-movie fashion, allowing historians - and voyeurs - into the Kennedys' charmed circle." - Vanity Fair. "Intimate images of a golden couple and a vanished age." - People. "Jacques Lowe played a critical role in explaining the Kennedy family to the rest of America." - Senator Edward M. Kennedy. "[Remembering Jack] belongs next to A Thousand Days as a reminder of what once was and will never be again." - Douglas Brinkley. Jacques Lowe's photographs of the Kennedys, taken during his tenure as JFK's personal photographer, have become the iconic imagery of a time that remains vividly etched in the national psyche. Upon Lowe's death, commentators credited his pictures with creating the myth of Camelot. Of Lowe's forty thousand Kennedy photographs, only a few hundred have ever been seen, and all of his negatives, which were housed in a vault in the World Trade Center, were destroyed on September 11, 2001. For this definitive book, fine reproductions have been created from existing prints and contact sheets -- in some cases of images he never even printed. Authorized by the Lowe estate, Remembering Jack features more than six hundred pictures, half of which are previously unpublished. Published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of President Kennedy's death, Remembering Jack includes a tribute by Lowe's close friend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Thomasina Lowe chronicles the loss of her father's negatives. Hugh Sidey, a Kennedy intimate whose vivid prose deepens our experience of the photographs, has written the introduction and the commentary throughout. The book concludes with an appreciation by Tom Wolfe, Lowe's friend and photo subject for forty years. The focus, however, remains on the pictures -- a poignant evocation of the charm, youth, high spirits, and legend of the Kennedys, all tinged with a sense of loss.".
