President John F. Kennedy is seen in profile, his expression serious and contemplative, as he visits the Arbour Hill Memorial in Dublin in 1963. Flanked by two uniformed Irish military officers, he placed a wreath on the graves of the executed leaders of the 1916 Rising. With this formal ceremony, he became the first foreign head of state to pay them honour. Behind the men, a stone wall is inscribed with Irish Gaelic.
