Taken between March 1 and June 30, 1961.
Wikipedia says: The first photographic image of the new president. Remarkably, it is not known where or by whom this portrait was taken; the few known examples carry imprints of several different photographers: C.D Fredericks & Co. of New York; W.L. Germon and James E. McLees, both of Philadelphia.
Illinois Library says: A photograph by Mathew B. Brady made in Washington before October 1, 1861. On that date the President gave it to Mrs. Lucy G. Speed, the mother of James Speed and Joshua F. Speed, all his early friends.
