The front page shows: "Sergeant Boston Corbett, the Man who shot Booth" as well as a dramatic print of: "The Killing of Booth, the Assassin--The Dying Murderer drawn from the Barn where he had Taken Refuge...".
The inside pages have some nice prints including: "Booth Escaping on Horseback from the Rear of the Theatre after the Murder of the President." and three prints of the funeral car of Abraham Lincoln.
The doublepage centerfold is a terrific print showing the funeral parade of Lincoln in New York City. It is tipped-in (preferred). Another page has prints on the funeral, Ford's Theatre, etc.
Sixteen pages, some foxing at the margins, generally nice condition.
