In conjunction with the Democratic National Convention, SPNEA presents
an exhibition of rarely seen photographs of John F. and Jacqueline
Kennedy, taken by New England photographer Verner Reed. These photographs
are from the Verner Reed Collection of more than 26,000 photographic
negatives which consists of images shot between 1930 and 1990 that
comprise the personal collection of American freelance photographer
and photojournalist Verner Reed. Reed photographed assignments for
Life, Time, Fortune, Vermont Life, and various publications both
domestic and foreign. As the primary New England freelancer for
Life magazine from 1953 through 1957, Reed documented the history
and culture of the region, ranging from members of twentieth century
politics to significant events and the arts to common everyday moments.
The Reed Collection includes photographs of the Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg vigil, John F. and Jacqueline Kennedy, Edmund A. Muskie’s
gubernatorial win, painter Maxfield Parrish, and poets T. S. Eliot
and Robert Frost, in addition to the images of New Englanders’
everyday lives.
