Here the first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, takes her infant son out for air on the White House grounds in March 1961. John F. Kennedy Jr. was born in November 1960, so he was only a few months old, and the picture shows the young family settling into the residence after the 1960 election. The photograph was made by the photographer Capa and is one of many images of the Kennedy children that documented the family's public life in the early 1960s. The baby carriage and the lawn give it a quiet, domestic tone that contrasts with the formal image usually associated with the executive mansion.
