The picture shows the death of Abraham Lincoln on April 15, 1865, the morning after he was shot in the presidential box at Ford's theater. He was carried across the street to the Petersen House, a boarding house on Tenth Street, and he died there at 7:22 a.m. with his cabinet, family, and physicians gathered around him. Scenes like this were widely circulated in the following weeks, as the nation mourned and the city of Washington lined the route of his funeral procession. Today the theater is part of the National Park Service site, and visitors can see the box where the assassination took place.
