"Assassinated: A Haunting Glimpse into History's Dark Moments" Step back in time and delve into the chilling world of assassinations. From the orange-infused assassination attempts to the enigmatic figures like John Wilkes Booth, this collection of images offers a glimpse into some of history's most notorious acts. Intriguingly, we find ourselves face-to-face with Carte de visite of John Wilkes Booth, a haunting albumen print on card that captures the essence of a man whose name became synonymous with treachery. Another portrait follows suit; an albumen print showcasing Booth during his tumultuous years from 1861 to 1865. These monochromatic photographs serve as eerie reminders of his role in one fateful act that changed America forever. Venturing further back, we stumble upon an engraving depicting the Murder of the Duke of Orleans in 1407. The sepia-toned image transports us to a time rife with political intrigue and power struggles—a reminder that assassinations have long plagued humanity. The somber black-and-white photograph presents Abraham Lincoln seated, offering us a full-length portrait frozen in time. Little did he know that destiny awaited him at Ford's Theatre—an event immortalized through hand-colored lithography titled "The Assassination of President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, Washington. " This vivid artwork brings forth emotions still palpable even after all these years. Our journey takes another turn as we encounter "The Corpses of the De Witt Brothers, " an oil painting capturing their tragic fate during turbulent times in Dordrecht. The canvas serves as both testament and warning against political rivalries spiraling out-of-control. Returning to Abraham Lincoln through yet another striking black-and-white photograph from 1861, we witness his stoic presence amidst turmoil—a leader who would ultimately meet his untimely demise by an assassin's bullet. As if woven within history itself, an engraving depicting "The assassination of Cardinal Beaton" emerges.
