JOHN WILKES BOOTH - Unique Hand-Sketched Original Artwork Pencil + Ink Portrait
Est: $5,000 - $6,000
Abraham Lincoln Related Unique Original Artwork Pencil and Ink Drawing of John Wilkes Booth the Only Other Drawing Located in the National Portrait Gallery Collection JOHN WILKES BOOTH, Unique, Original Period Artwork Pencil and Ink Master Drawing used to make Prints (which are also Extremely Rare), only One Located at the National Portrait Gallery. Measuring 15.25" x 11.25" overall, this original Pencil and Ink Master Artwork Drawing features Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, Choice Crisp Extremely Fine. Below the image is the title "John Wilkes Booth" with the makers name "Berlin, F. Sala & Co." Likely done shortly after the assassination of President Lincoln. F. Sala was a German publisher of lithographs based in Berlin in the mid to late 19th Century. They produced portraits, religious and genre subjects, and scenes from literary works. The only print we could source from this drawing is housed in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery. There are notes in German in the lower right corner giving Booth's date and place of birth, 1841 in Cincinnati (actually, it was 1838 in Bel Air, Maryland), along with date 1865 and the name "Ab. Lincoln". The artist has signed with his initials "B. L." below the bust, on the right. The name "John Wilkes Booth" also appears in faint pencil below the German inscription. An exquisit Artwork rendering, with great detail, by an accomplished artist. Notation written in light pencil at the lower right corner appears written in German and has the date "1865". This was undoubtedly the original from which later prints were taken. As a unique, original artwork, this piece is priceless until the successful buyer makes that "value" determination. John Wilkes Booth (May 10, 1838- April 26, 1865) was an American stage actor who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre, in Washington, D.C., on April 14, 1865. Booth was a member of the prominent 19th Century theatrical family from Maryland and, by the 1860s, was a well known actor. He was also a Confederate sympathizer, vehement in his denunciation of the Lincoln Administration and outraged by the South's defeat in the American Civil War. He strongly opposed the Abolition of Slavery in the United States, and Lincoln's proposal to extend voting rights to recently emancipated Slaves.

JOHN WILKES BOOTH THEATER BROADSIDE
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Rare theater broadside advertising an appearance of Lincoln assassin JOHN WILKES BOOTH (1838-1865) in an 1863 production of Shakespeare's Macbeth...at the same time he was plotting Lincoln's murder. The 5 ¼" x 16 ¾" (sight) broadside promotes Booth's appearance at "Willard's Howard Athenaeum" on October 7, 1863. Booth is given top billing: "LAST NIGHT BUT THREE Of the Popular Young Tragedian MR. J. WILKES BOOTH Who, by particular request, will appear in the Great Character of MACBETH!" Booth was supported by actresses Julia Bennett Barrow and Annie Senter Langdon. The broadside is in pristine condition, bright white with bold printing, matted in white and set into a beaded wood frame. Between September-November 1863, Booth played a hectic schedule in the northeast, appearing in Boston, Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford. Earlier that year, he had been arrested in St. Louis when he was heard saying that he "wished the President and the whole damned government would go to hell," charged with making "treasonous" remarks. By the time he appeared in this play, Booth was already planning to kidnap or kill Lincoln. A few weeks later, he made an unexplained trip to Montreal, which was a center of clandestine Confederate activity. He spent ten days in the city, staying for a time at St. Lawrence Hall, a rendezvous for the Confederate Secret Service, and meeting several Confederate agents there. Lincoln's re-election in November convinced Booth to move forward with his plot.
