Portrait: The Emergence of John F. Kennedy HC Book Jacques Lowe Coffe Table Book

Description: Jacques Lowe came to the United States in 1949, at the age of nineteen, from Cologne, Germany. While working here first at various odd jobs, among them that of shipping clerk, he studied journalism and design courses, and in 1951 he was hired as assistant to a photographer. A year later, with not much experience and a borrowed camera, he entered a Life magazine contest, along with some 18,000 other photographers, many of them professional. He won an honorable mention and on the strength of this first encouragement went to a bank, borrowed $800, and opened his own studio. Working as a free-lance photographer, and doing jobs for various magazines, he joined a group in founding Jubilee magazine, and devoted most of the next two years to that publication, winning many prizes. The excellence of his work attracted Robert Kennedy's attention and landed Mr. Lowe in the midst of the electrifying drama on which this book is based. Since the election, he has worked on two television shows and is now preparing several serious pictorial books as commentaries on various aspects of the American scene.
