Lincoln's funeral procession in New York City on April 25, 1865, drew one of the largest crowds the city had seen, and this picture records the mourners lining the route as the cortege moved down the avenue. The president had been shot at Ford's theater in Washington on April 14 and died the next morning, and his body was carried by train through many northern cities on the way home to Springfield, Illinois. New York's observance was among the most elaborate on that journey, with black crepe draped over buildings and tens of thousands of people filling the streets in silence. Prints like this one let viewers see how a whole city gathered to mark the loss of its wartime leader.
