Conspirator's Portraits

[BettyO]

Since we're on the subject of apparently "lost" portraits of Lincoln Conspirators - these wonderful portraits appeared in General Thomas Harris' History of the Great Conspiracy, published in 1892. They are signed "F. Hendry" (Frank Hendry) and looking him up, I found that he was a Boston, MA artist (1863-1939) who later specialized in marine art; not to be confused with a Liverpool, England artist of the same name. These portraits were done early in his career (1892) for Harris' book. Wonder what ever happened to these?

   

   

   

   

   

There are additional portraits in the book by Hendry of Arnold, O'Laughlen, Spangler and John Surratt.

Here is a painting by Hendry right before his death -
