An original copy of the Saturday, April 15, 1865, issue of the The New York Herald, 15.5 x 23, eight pages, announcing the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth. This is the 3 A.M edition of the paper, with the latest update from Edwin Stanton to General Dix in the fourth column. Several other editions were printed during the day reporting later developments, the death of Lincoln, and the inauguration of Andrew Johnson. In fair condition, with partial separations and paper loss to central horizontal and vertical folds, small areas of paper loss and tears to edges, a mild shade of toning, and scattered light soiling. Original copies of this paper are quite elusive, as most of the issues of the April 15, 1865, issue of the Herald are in fact reprints having little or no value.
