Very Unusual 1865-Dated Cloth Lincoln Mourning Handkerchief. While many varieties of mourning ribbons were produced, this is only the second style of memorial handkerchief we have ever encountered, and this is the first example. It is basically in excellent condition with some evenly distributed age browning marks, almost inescapable in a white-background textile of this era. 11" x 11".
The president's death. This clipping includes Special Orders No. 91 by Sammel B. Lawrence, A.A.G., detailing a lockdown of the city following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Also included is General Orders No. 25 by T. H. Harris, Assistant Adjutant General, giving details of the assassination. Partner Institution: Georgia Historical Society.

In 1872, Mary Todd Lincoln went to a ‘spiritualist’ photographer who could show in a picture what she had always believed: that her late husband, President Lincoln never left her side. She liked the picture, and refused to believe that it was a fake. Three years later she was committed to an insane asylum.
