Lincoln's assassination and last address...

Item # 703856

April 17, 1865

NEW YORK TIMES, April 17, 1865 All columns on pages 1, 4, 5 & 8 are black bordered for the death of Abraham Lincoln. The front page has some very nice one column heads including: "OUR GREAT LOSS" "The Assassination of President Lincoln" "Details of the Fearful Crime" "Closing Moments & Death of the President" "Expressions of Deep Sorrow Throughout the Land" plus "The New President" "Inauguration of Andrew Johnson" and more. There is additional related content on pages 4, 5 and 8 as well.
A great issue, with content which reads something like a first report with the "Last Moments..." article, and the other assassination content, yet at a fraction of the price of an April 15 issue.
Inside is also the complete text of Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural Address which provides context and contrast to the assassination. This is the same address which appears etched upon the walls of the Lincoln Memorial.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed (desired; as sold on the streets), a few ink stains, two creases, minimal wear at the margins, generally int good condition.
