The broadside's headline offers $100,000 for the capture of the men still at large after Abraham Lincoln's murder, and it illustrates that appeal with three photographs of the wanted men: John H. Surratt, John Wilkes Booth, and David E. Herold. Booth, the actor who shot the president at Ford's theater in April 1865, was killed in a Virginia barn about twelve days later, and Herold was captured with him. Surratt escaped abroad and was not brought to trial until 1867. Notices like this were posted in public places to spread the word as widely as possible.
