EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the fateful day of April 15,1865. The image showcases the historic Petersen House in Washington, D. C. , where President Abraham Lincoln tragically lost his life. Taken around 1920, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the past and allows us to witness the very place that witnessed such a significant event in American history. The Petersen House stands proudly on an early morning street, its classic architecture drawing our attention. This row house exudes a sense of solemnity as we imagine the events that unfolded within its walls over half a century prior. A man can be seen walking along the sidewalk nearby, perhaps contemplating the weight of history that hangs heavy in this location. As we reflect upon this photograph, it serves as a reminder of both tragedy and resilience. It is here that one of America's greatest leaders took his last breaths before succumbing to death's embrace. Yet amidst this sorrowful scene, there is also hope for progress and unity. Preserved by Library of Congress' Granger Art on Demand collection, this print captures not only physical details but also emotions tied to an important chapter in our nation's story. Let it serve as a poignant reminder of how even ordinary buildings can become extraordinary witnesses to extraordinary moments.
