The image showcases a significant moment in American history, capturing the scandalous affair that rocked society during the mid-19th century. Mrs. Sickles' confession letter, dated 26 February 1859, is prominently displayed on the page, emphasizing her brave admission of adultery. The intricate details of the wood engraving bring to life this historical artifact and allow viewers to immerse themselves in the drama and emotions surrounding this scandalous event.
