Rather than the theater itself, this pencil sketch shows the crowded room where the events of April 1865 ended. After John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln during a performance of *Our American Cousin*, Lincoln was carried across Tenth Street to the Petersen House, where he lay unconscious through the night. Family members, cabinet officials, and doctors gathered around his bedside, and he died the next morning, April 15. Scenes like this were widely reproduced in newspapers and prints, which let the public share in the long vigil.
