Most long time members here are aware of the photograph story but for those newer members and those who are not, here is a link to a Ford's Theatre blog post from 2014 discussing the issue. Way to go Roger and Dave! Let's hope with time, the historical record will be set straight once and for all.

The Lincoln Collection recently posted images purported to be of Clara Harris and Henry Rathbone. Is the image of Clara a true image?

Also, the Lincoln Collection writes that, "on the back of the photo is an inscription done by her son, Henry R. Rathbone. A similar inscription is on the back of his fathers’ photo as well."
