Jacqueline is the most beautiful book ever published about the world's most glamorous woman, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The work's elegance is equal to its subject. This book represents the best of the countless photographs that Galella has taken of Mrs. Onassis and her children. Also included are many photos of the Kennedy family. The millions who have followed the relationship of Galella and Mrs. Onassis over the years will be shocked by the beauty and dignity of the photos in this book. Galella is so committed to Mrs. Onassis that he destroys any negative that is unflattering to her. Now, after prolonged litigation, Galella brings together the very best of his exclusive photos. The photos are supplemented with Galella's own story of how and why he has become so compelled to photograph Jacqueline. He also describes what he has gone through to obtain this stunning collection. Not only has he contrived to date her maid (subsequently fired), but he has traveled across Europe to the Greek isles to memorialize her on film. Jacqueline is an eloquent testimony to Mrs. Onassis' beauty and no Mr. Galella's persistence and photographic brilliance. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover.
