Description
[Abraham Lincoln Assassination]: Ford's Theater Playbill, "Our American Cousin". Besides the original playbill, for which there are two different versions advertising the April 14, 1865 performance of "Our American Cousin", there were numerous reprints and outright forgeries by printers hoping to capitalize on the prospects of souvenir sales. The example offered in this lot is a fantasy piece containing the notification: "This Evening The Performance Will Be Honored By The Presence of President Lincoln". This phrase was never included in either of the original versions or the reprints. Possibly made at the time, the playbill is printed by L. Brown in Washington, D.C.Condition: Size 6" x 19", light toning, edge roughness with minor loss, an oval sticker top right corner.
