CAPTURE OF HARROLD AND THE SHOOTING OF BOOTH

Color Print "Capture of Harrold [sic] and the Shooting of Booth in the barn of Garath's Farm by a detachment of the 16th New York Cavalry under the order of Col. Baker." 11 7/8" x 9 1/2". Published by "Chr. Kimmell & Forster 254 & 256 Canal St. NY." 1865. The print depicts the capture of David Herold and the moment Sergeant Boston Corbett fired the shot that killed Booth. Unlike many examples of another Kimmell & Forster print of the same title, the left side of the print does not depict Booth within the burning barn. Very minor paper loss at lower left, not affecting image or text. Else Extremely Fine.
