Remembering Camelot Through the Lens of Jacques Lowe - the private collection of Frank Harvey


Remembering Camelot through the Lens of Jacques Lowe is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view the largest private collection of Jacques Lowe’s photography, owned by Frank Harvey of Houston, Texas.  Jacques Lowe was the personal family photographer to John F. Kennedy and was instrumental in creating the Camelot image beginning with JFK’s campaign for Senator through his early years as the United States 35th President.

In the mid 1990’s Lowe became good friends with Frank Harvey, a collector of all things JFK. With Harvey’s encouragement and consultation, together they built some of Lowe’s famous portfolios and determined select photographs to publish in Lowe’s books. During their time together, Harvey purchased many prints from Lowe. Today Frank Harvey possesses a collection of over 300 vintage prints, never viewed by the public, along with several artifacts of Kennedy memorabilia.  
All proceeds from this event will benefit True Vineyard Ministries, Inc. (www.truevineyard.org), a Christian non-profit organization based in San Marcos, Texas working to empower Rwandan widows.
