Summary

[edit]
Description
العربية: طبعة حجريَّة تُمثِّلُ اغتيال أبراهام لينكولن. من اليسار إلى اليمين: هنري راثبون، وكلارا هاريس، وماري تود لينكولن، وأبراهام لينكولن، وجون ويلكس بوث. يظهرُ راثبون وقد ضبط بوث قبل أن يُطلق النار على لينكولن مُحاولًا إيقافه قبل أن يضغط على الزناد. في واقع الأمر لم يكن راثبون يعي اقتراب بوث، وقد تصرَّف بُعيد إطلاق الرصاص على الرئيس الأمريكي. يظهر لينكولن مُمسكٌ بالعلم الأمريكي بعد إصابته بالطلقة الناريَّة، ويُحتمل أنَّه كان يُحاولُ إبعاد العلم ببساطة كي يتمكَّن من مُشاهدة العرض المسرحيّ.
English: Lithograph of the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln. From left to right: Henry Rathbone, Clara Harris, Mary Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln, and John Wilkes Booth. Rathbone is depicted as spotting Booth before he shot Lincoln and trying to stop him as Booth fired his weapon. Rathbone actually was unaware of Booth’s approach, and reacted after the shot was fired. While Lincoln is depicted clutching the flag after being shot, it is also possible that he just simply pushed the flag aside to watch the performance.
