Yes, this camera is very similar to the ones that were used to take the photographs of JWB and the conspirators - I've never seen an actual wet plate - but it the same process and no, I didn't realize that the actual plates were that large as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Also noted on that same page is a new novel about Jack the Ripper - another fascinating murder case for many of us Lincoln assassination addicts.

My apologies for thinking the Jack the Ripper novel was new. It was first published in 2005.
