Above we show a majestic photo of [Washington Navy Yard, D.C. Lewis Payne, in sweater, seated and manacled]. It was made in 1865 by Gardner, Alexander, 1821-1882.
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.
