Print, DEATH OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN., depicting Abraham Lincoln on his deathbed surrounded by mourners, 1865. Currier & Ives, New York. Margins trimmed.
Subtitled, "The Nation's Martyr," the most famous presidential deathbed scene, published within weeks of Lincoln's death. Mourners include wife Mary Todd, sons Robert and Thomas, Senator Charles Sumner, Vice President Andrew Johnson, cabinet members Chase, Stanton and Welles, the Surgeon General and Clara Harris (fiance of Major Rathbone). A fine example that will frame nicely.
