Image 6 from Negative Strip 16: Parkland of Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry outside Parkland Hospital
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry standing beside an unidentified police officer outside of Parkland Hospital on November 22, 1963. The top has been put back on the presidential limousine, seen in the background. The man at the right edge of the photo is Tom Wicker, a New York Times reporter. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. The image is labeled #6 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. (Lindsey Richardson, 8/1/12) Also noted at that 2012 curatorial meeting, Tom Wicker of the New York Times is visible in the right corner.
