Photo of Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth found in Chicago
A Chicago collector found an 11 by 14 inch photograph showing Abraham Lincoln’s assassin John Wilkes Booth in full face with an upturned mustache. The image, believed taken in 1863 or 1864, may be the only known front shot and could be worth about $2,000. Booth appears in colonial dress, long silk coat, ruffled shirt and white hose. the back bears the name but may not be Booth’s signature. The shot ties to Booth’s 1865 Ford’s Theatre assassination and his subsequent death in Virginia fighting authorities.
