A superb archive of material in a three-ring binder featuring a 41-page set of photocopies with copious penciled corrections and emendations in Kirk’s hand. The set is from his testimony before the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978 concerning the authenticity of the often disputed photographs of Lee Harvey Oswald in his backyard holding the rifle he allegedly used to assassinate President John F. Kennedy. The archive also includes an 8” x 10” composite photo detailing two of the disputed photograph, a typed statement concerning the negative on House Select Committee on Assassinations letterhead, a period 8” x 10” photo of a Dallas detective holding the Oswald rifle, as well as an 8” x 10” photo of the same rifle taken in 1978. Also included are two candid 3.5” x 5” color candid photographs from the 1978 hearings; one of Kirk delivering his testimony concerning the rifle photo as well as one of former Texas Governor John G. Connally at the same hearings. Minor edge wear, VG condition overall.
