The title reads like a newspaper headline, and it captures the shock of a sudden loss at the top of the nation's government. Prints like this one spread quickly through shop windows and print sellers' stock after a president's death. The most familiar case is April 1865, when Abraham Lincoln died the morning after being shot at Ford's theater in Washington. This Boston piece shows how a national grief could become a picture that ordinary people would buy and keep at home.
