I think the negative got reversed

The photo link that I posted shows modern views of the box. The ones I'm looking at have the rocker in the right location (Box 7, near the wall and the balustrade with Mary's chair to Lincoln's immediate right).

My legs have not taken me up to that level at Ford's in years, but I don't remember such an abundance of red upholstered chairs and settees in the past, and I don't think they were there in Lincoln's time. With what shows in some of these photos, Lincoln would have no place to be stretched out on the floor -- and Laura Keene's hoops would never have fit in Box 7.
