RE: Pictorial representations Lincoln’s deathbed
Isn't that the one Betty posted here?
http://rogerjnorton.com/LincolnDiscussio...s#pid25648 Then you are right, Roger!

Does anybody know why?Kees, despite that on Roger's link is written: "After Lincoln's death, Littlefield invented this tableau of twenty-five people ranged around the death-bed", I think he in any case didn't want to leave out someone who in fact was there. My humble guess is he created his first version, then learned of Oglesby's presence (and according to Reck's "His last 24 Hours", Oglesby was definitively present), and subsequently added him. Would that make sense/be possible? |
