1865 Abraham Assassination Lincoln 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the moment of tragedy that unfolded at Ford's Theatre on the fateful night of April 14, 1865. President Abraham Lincoln, wearing his signature tall hat and overcoat, sits in the presidential box, unaware of the imminent danger lurking nearby. The date, the 14th of April, is inscribed at the top of the photograph, along with the title "Assassination of President Lincoln, at Ford's Theatre, Apl. 14th 1865." The scene is set in the dimly lit theatre, with the stage and audience shrouded in shadows. The presidential box, located at the right side of the stage, is the only source of illumination, casting an eerie glow on the President's face. Lincoln's expression is calm and serene, a stark contrast to the chaos and violence that was about to unfold. At this point in history, the Civil War had just ended, and the nation was on the cusp of healing and rebuilding. However, the assassination of President Lincoln would plunge the country into a period of mourning and uncertainty. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of that fateful night and the profound impact it had on American history. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is believed to have been taken between 1865 and 1870. Despite the passage of time, the image retains its power to evoke emotions and spark reflection on the complex and often tumultuous history of the United States.
