Identification of Booth's body

[Warren]

Thanks, Roger! That supplies some more information, but it appears that Alexander Gardner appears in both of the sketches I linked above, yet they appear to have been done by different artists (at different times?). Most of the same people are in the both sketches and it appears they were drawn minutes, if not seconds, apart, based on their positions. The bottom sketch, above, from Baker's book, I think draws the deck of the Montauk more accurately, as it appears to have iron plates in a pattern to prevent the effects of plunging fire. Most of the photos of monitors I was able to look up have similar iron plate (as opposed to plank) decking. The Montauk did have planking like the top sketch, but it was below decks. Because of that, and for some vague recollection, I think the barrels were used to support the autopsy board, and it wasn't a fold-up table like in the top sketch.

If the the two sketches were by different artists, then I wonder who the other one was? Probably just another reporter present, I guess. No evidence of a camera being present in either drawing, though.
