EDITORS COMMENTS
LINCOLN ASSASSINATION: A Haunting Glimpse into History This powerful print captures the chilling moment of Abraham Lincoln's assassination at Ford's Theatre on April 14,1865. The lithograph, created contemporaneously, transports us back to that fateful night in Washington D. C. , forever etched in American history. In this scene, we witness John Wilkes Booth, a notorious assassin and Confederate sympathizer, standing defiantly on the theatre balcony. With gunsmoke lingering in the air and his handgun still raised, Booth has just fired the fatal shot that would claim President Lincoln's life. The audience below is thrown into chaos as panic sets in; men and women scramble for safety while others are frozen with shock. Amidst this turmoil stands Mary Todd Lincoln, the First Lady herself. Clinging to her husband's chair with despair etched upon her face, she witnesses the unimaginable tragedy unfold before her eyes. Nearby sits Major Henry Rathbone and his fiancée Clara Harris - their joyous evening transformed into a nightmare within seconds. The image also reveals an eerie juxtaposition between patriotism and violence. Old Glory proudly adorns the theater box railing while opera glasses lay abandoned amidst smoke-filled air. A soldier guards nearby but is powerless to prevent this heinous act from transpiring. As we gaze upon this haunting lithograph today, let it serve as a solemn reminder of our nation's darkest hours and a testament to Abraham Lincoln's enduring legacy
