The show at the International Center of Photography in New York, JFK November 22, 1963: A Bystander's View of History, examines the photographs which show the fateful day from an angle not seen in official accounts of the day.
While some of the images were used in news reports at the time, the enduring image of the assassination has been through the famous film by Abraham Zapruder.
The snapshots show a smiling Kennedy and his wife Jackie moments before the President was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. Other images show a distraught Jackie Kennedy at the President's funeral and Oswald being led away by Federal officers.
