EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history - the Military Commission for the trial of eight civilians charged with the assassination of President Lincoln in May 1865. The image, taken by renowned photographer Mathew Brady, showcases a group portrait of the judges and officers involved in this historic trial. The solemnity and formality of the scene are palpable as we see uniformed officials standing together, representing federal authority during a time of immense political turmoil.
