Suspected Lincoln Consirator

Unidentified man, arrested on suspicion of being a conspirator

Above we show a remarkable photo of Washington Navy Yard, D.C. Unidentified man, arrested on suspicion of being a conspirator (has been erroneously taken for Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, who had a bald forehead; but is probably Hartman Richter, Atzerodt's cousin, arrested with him but later released). It was made in 1865.

The illustration documents Photograph of Washington, 1862-1865, the assassination of President Lincoln, April-July 1865. This photograph has background of dark metal, and was presumably taken on the monitors, U.S.S. Montauk and Saugus, where the conspirators were for a time confined.

We have compiled this collection of artwork mainly to serve as a vital educational resource. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
