Summary

An unprecedented collection of very special photographs, Young Jackiereveals Jacqueline Bouvier in childhood and young adulthood as she began to make public appearances in New York high society, but before the media onslaught that would mark her later life. Bert Morgan started his career when Jackie was a year old and began taking her picture when she was three. This stunning collection chronicles the events of Jackie's first twenty years of life-weddings, holiday festivities, horse-riding competitions, dog shows, events big and small. Here we see Jackie alone, with her family, with her dogs, with her favorite horse, Danceuse, in riding habit and party clothes. Capturing the beauty and poise of the woman who later would beguile the world, these photographs offer a new perspective on the life of one of the most respected and loved women of the twentieth century. Introduction and chronology by Olivia Harrison.
