A blood-stained fabric swatch said to come from a dress worn at the time of President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination is going up for sale.
The small rectangular strip reportedly belonged to actress Laura Keene, who starred in an onstage production of "Our American Cousin" at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C., on the day of Lincoln’s assassination, April 14, 1865.
Weinberg noted that he’s come across and has handled four other fabric swatches from the same dress during his 50-year tenure with the bookshop.An engraving of Abraham Lincoln by William G. Jackman is shown here, based on a photo by Mathew Brady.
Keene reportedly raced up to Lincoln’s box in the theater after he was shot and cradled his head, according to multiple historians who have documented the assassination.
