Lincoln's death is the focus here, and the title makes the subject plain: a memorial print presenting him as a martyr to the nation, with the date of his assassination, April 14, 1865, set into the image itself. John Wilkes Booth shot the president at Ford's theater in Washington, and Lincoln died the next morning, just days after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Mourning prints like this one were produced in large numbers across the North, where many households displayed them as a way of grieving and honoring a leader who had guided the country through its war.
