Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:15580460 | President: Abraham Lincoln |
| Year: 1865 | Type: Photograph |
Very rare and original, 1860's CDV Photograph of John Wilkes Booth, Assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, taken some years before the "famous" actor became the infamous assassin. This outstanding, period photograph measures approx. 2 1/4” by 3 3/4” and is mounted on its original, square cornered CDV Card Mount (overall size of card mount is 2 1/2" by 4").
This is a very rare portrait of Booth which was likely taken when the young actor was performing in... Cincinnati, Ohio in the early 1860's. The Image is a 3/4 length, seated portrait with Booth looking slightly to the right with his right hand at his chin and holding a pair of leather gloves in his left hand. We see here a serious Thespian - posed but self composed. The mount carries the mark of the photographer – W. W. Hawe of Cincinnati, Ohio
This very rare and highly desirable, albumen, CDV Photo of John Wilkes Booth in very good condition. The Photograph itself exhibits sharp focus and good contrast and tonality. The card mount has some soiling and edge wear as seen in the scans below.
