RE: State Box
An early artist's sketch of the stage and box shows a tiny mark on the stage immediately below the President's box which the artist indicates is a tear in the stage carpet where Booth landed, and I think one of the early photographs of the stage shows the same mark. I can't immediately put my finger on the images, but as I recall, the mark is beneath where the Lincolns were seated, indicating that Booth dropped from a point between Mrs. Lincoln and the center pillar where the Washington portrait was hung. I'm going strictly by memory here. I might add that the diagram does not accurately depict the location of the chair and sofa where Miss Harris and Maj. Rathbone were seated at the time of the assassination. They were seated close enough to the railing for both to view the play.
