EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Kennedy Memorial, a profound tribute to President John F. Kennedy (1917-63). Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this modern masterpiece stands as an enduring symbol of remembrance and reverence. The stone structure's imperceptible curvature in all directions ingeniously counters optical illusions, adding an intriguing element to its design. Captured within the frame is a play of light and shadow that accentuates the memorial's striking presence. Its listed status speaks volumes about its historical significance and architectural brilliance. Constructed using both granite and Portland stone, this monument seamlessly blends strength and elegance. Designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe, a visionary architect renowned for his innovative creations, this memorial captures the essence of America's spirit. Nestled amidst nature's embrace, a solitary tree stands tall beside it - perhaps representing resilience or growth in the face of adversity. Mrs M. A. C Ball LRPS has skillfully captured every intricate detail through her lens, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth behind this remarkable work of art. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of President Kennedy's legacy and invites contemplation on his lasting impact on American history.
