1865 1ed Abraham Lincoln Tribute Assassination

1865 1ed Abraham Lincoln Tribute Assassination Civil War Slavery Illustrated

B.F Morris’s “Memorial Record of the Nation’s Tribute to Lincoln”, released just months after Lincoln’s death, was intended as both a memorial and as a historical record. Morris intended to “reproduce, in a condensed and connected form, from the public journals of Washington and of the cities through which the illustrious dead was conveyed to his burial place, the graphic pen-pictures painted by the accomplished reporters of the public press” (Introduction).

The work spans the entire period of the Lincoln assassination, beginning with the days and events leading up to his death, including accounts of his assassination, death, and funeral, and then ending with the moving tributes that took place all over the world.

This mid-19th century first edition includes four black and white illustrations with a portrait frontispiece of Abraham Lincoln.
