An infamous photograph taken during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is about to go up for auction.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the snapshot -- taken by Mary Ann Moorman Krahmer -- captures the exact moment that JFK clutched his throat, one-sixth of a second after first being shot by Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

The photo will go up for auction at Cowan’s Auctions in Cincinnati on Nov.15, one week before the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. It is expected to fetch between $50,000 to $75,000.

When word of the photo spread in the aftermath of the assassination, government officials questioned Moorman for six hours before allowing her to return home. Hours later, government agents knocked on her door and asked for the photograph, the Cincinnati Enquirer said.

When the photo was returned to her a few weeks later, there was “a big thumbprint on it,” Moorman said.
