NEW YORK HERALD, April 18, 1865 

* Abraham Lincoln assassination funeral
* Black mourning column borders


Over half of the first column on the front page is taken up with a nice series of headlines concerning the death & funeral of President Abraham Lincoln, who died just 3 days previous. Some of the heads include: "MOURNING" "Further Details of the Terrible Tragedy at Washington" "Important Statements of Eye-witnesses" "The Deliberate Character of the Crime Fully Established" "A Well Planned 'Conspiracy" "Arrest of One of the Assassins" "The Funeral Preparations" and more.
There are some additional & similar headlines on the back page as well.  Obviously a tremendous amount of reporting from this early date after the assassination, and great to have in this famous newspaper title.
Eight pages, all columns on all pages have wide, black mourning rules, nice condition.
