Description:

This collectible set of phone cards prominently features John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, celebrating his enduring legacy and his significant impact on American politics and history. Each card is embedded with a chip on the left side, indicating its functionality as a chip phone card, or “Telefonkarte,” with a value of 6 Deutsche Marks (DM). Marked with "TELEFONKARTE 6 DM," these cards are designed for use in Germany, establishing a fascinating international connection between the USA and Germany. Notably, two of the cards commemorate the 30th anniversary of Kennedy’s death, displaying the dates 1917-1963 as a heartfelt tribute to his life and presidency.

The imagery on these cards is both striking and symbolic. One features a well-known photograph of President John F. Kennedy speaking into a microphone, dressed formally in a black suit—embodying his role as a powerful orator and leader. This image appears twice with subtle variations, including different backdrops—one with a blue sky, and another featuring the iconic Brandenburg Gate, a significant German landmark. This emphasizes the Kennedy family's special relationship with Berlin during the Cold War and highlights how JFK’s influence transcended national borders, linking international politics, democracy, and freedom. The German inscription “30. Todestag J.F. Kennedy (1917-1963)” further underscores the commemorative purpose of these cards for German audiences.

Two additional cards showcase hallmark American symbols associated with Kennedy's administration and the broader ideals he championed. One depicts the Statue of Liberty, a universal emblem of freedom and democracy, set against a clear blue sky with an American flag waving proudly. The other features the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., representing the heart of American legislative power and democracy. Both cards utilize patriotic imagery that aligns with John F. Kennedy’s identity as a Democratic president who advocated for civil rights and government progress. The inclusion of the American flag emphasizes Kennedy’s role as a unifying and visionary leader during the 1960s.

The final card in this set offers a side profile portrait of John F. Kennedy, illuminated with warm, dignified light, with the Capitol dome in the background. Below Kennedy’s name, the dates 1917-1963 mark his birth and untimely death, serving as a lasting memorial. Together, these five cards form a captivating homage to Kennedy’s legacy and enduring influence.
