EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the solemnity and historical significance of the Peterson House, where one of America's greatest leaders, Abraham Lincoln, took his last breath on April 15th, 1865. Located just across from Ford's Theatre in Washington, D. C. , this room serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic events that unfolded during that fateful night. The image showcases an intimate view of the bedroom where Lincoln spent his final moments. The room is adorned with period-appropriate furniture and wallpaper, transporting us back to a bygone era. A majestic bed stands against one wall while a chair sits nearby, perhaps symbolizing the weighty decisions made within these walls. Every detail in this photograph tells a story - from the elegant dresser to the washstand meticulously placed in its corner. It is as if time has stood still since that dark day when our nation mourned its fallen leader. Photographed by Carol M. Highsmith in 2007, this print allows us to reflect upon history and pay homage to President Lincoln's legacy. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful image captured by The Granger Collection for Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made for freedom and justice.
