Erected in the yard of the Old Arsenal Penitentiary in Washington, this gallows was where four people convicted in the conspiracy to kill Abraham Lincoln were hanged on July 7, 1865. The stereo format, which pairs two slightly offset exposures that merge into a three-dimensional image through a stereoscope, was a popular parlor entertainment at the time, and views like this carried the grim event into households across the country. Mary Surratt, the first woman executed by the federal government, was among those who died that day, a fact that drew considerable public attention.
