EDITORS COMMENTS
On the fateful night of April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln attended a performance at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. Little did he know that this night would end in tragedy. Unbeknownst to Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, a well-known actor harboring deep-seated resentment towards the President, had planned to assassinate him during the performance. This historic artifact is a playbill found in President Lincoln's box on the night of his assassination. The playbill, from Mary Evans Picture Library, advertises "US" as the main production of the evening, a comedy titled "The Uses of the Tree," featuring John Wilkes Booth as an actor. The playbill also lists the cast members and the schedule of events for the evening, including a benefit performance for the soldiers' home. The discovery of this playbill in Lincoln's box adds an intriguing layer to the story of the President's assassination. It serves as a poignant reminder of the normalcy of the evening's events, juxtaposed with the unimaginable violence that was to unfold. The playbill is a significant historical artifact, providing a tangible connection to one of the most pivotal moments in American history. The cast list on the playbill includes familiar names such as George A. Bowen, who played the lead role in "US," and Edwin Booth, John Wilkes Booth's older brother. The presence of these actors in the same space as Lincoln adds an eerie dimension to the story, as they unwittingly shared the same stage with the President just hours before his death. This rare and intriguing artifact offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the seemingly ordinary events that unfolded on the night of April 14, 1865, and the unforeseen tragedy that would change the course of American history.
