EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of John Wilkes Booth, forever known as the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. Taken by an anonymous American School photographer in the 19th century, this portrait showcases Booth's striking features and military uniform. Booth's notorious act of assassinating President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre is etched into history, forever altering the course of America during a tumultuous time - the American Civil War. This image serves as a haunting reminder of that fateful night when tragedy struck. With his piercing gaze and intense expression, Booth exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. As an actor himself, he possessed a charismatic charm that allowed him to move effortlessly between different social circles. However, beneath this facade lay a deeply conflicted soul driven by secessionist beliefs. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the face behind one of America's most infamous criminals. It invites contemplation on how such acts can shape nations and alter destinies. Despite its dark subject matter, there is no denying the historical significance captured within this image. Preserved in private collections for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this rare piece provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect upon one man's actions that left an indelible mark on American history.
