Kennedy family photos, maternity dress auctioned
Photos of the Kennedy family -- John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline, Caroline and John Jr. -- never before seen by the public, were auctioned off, June 25, 2015, at Nate D. Sanders Auctions.
The 79 photos were part of a private collection of mementos kept by the Kennedy's nanny, Maud Shaw, who moved to London after her retirement in 1965. Shaw took care of Caroline and 'John John' Kennedy for seven years, including the time the family resided in the White House.
In addition to the photos, a custom-made maternity dress worn by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1960, when she was pregnant with John-John, will be auctioned.
