Unlike the many portraits of Lincoln on this board, this print depicts his death on the morning of April 15, 1865, in a small back bedroom of the Petersen House across from Ford's theater. He had been carried there after John Wilkes Booth shot him the night before. Printmakers produced images like this within weeks, and this hand-colored lithograph, issued by E.B. & E.C. Kellogg and F.P. Whiting, reflects the wide public demand for mourning images after the assassination.
