The chair in this stereograph is the one Abraham Lincoln sat in at Ford's theater in Washington on April 14, 1865, when John Wilkes Booth shot him. Photographer David B. Woodbury made the image later that year, and its glass wet collodion negative produces two slightly offset views meant to be seen together through a stereoscope. Such views of sites connected to the assassination circulated widely in the months after Lincoln's death, when the nation was in mourning and public interest in the tragedy ran high.
