Two Weeks Only - Behind Camelot: The Kennedy Family Album
November 3, 2009 - November 15, 2009
Behind Camelot: The Kennedy Family Album presents a selection of photographs capturing three generations of Kennedy family members at ease and at play. The photographs were taken by Robert Davidoff who was the photographer for the Kennedy family in Palm Beach for almost fifty years. Because most of the photographs have never before been seen by the general public, Behind Camelot offers a truly unique snapshot of the Kennedy family.
The photographs in Behind Camelot are part of a larger collection of original photography by Davidoff used to create the book The Kennedy Family Album, and other favorite vacation spots. As a fixture in the Kennedy's Palm Beach home, Davidoff was able to capture the family during their moments of fun and relaxation Images in the book include a youthful John F. Kennedy, a young Jackie surprising her husband on the tarmac of the Palm Beach airport, and matriarch Rose Kennedy leading a family sing-along.
Davidoff, a freelance photographer for United Press International, first photographed President-elect John F. Kennedy along side President Herbert Hoover and Ambassador Joseph Kennedy during a party in Palm Beach. He was the photographer in residence at the Kennedy's Palm Beach home until his death in 2004.
