The title pins this print to a single day, April 25, 1865, when New York City mourned Abraham Lincoln. The president's body had reached the city by train, lay in state at City Hall, and was then carried through the streets in a funeral procession. Charles Magnus, a New York publisher known for popular illustrated prints, issued the image soon afterward, and its hand coloring shows how commercial printmakers turned such events into keepsakes for a public still grieving the assassination.
