Quote: They have a collection of photographs I'm checking out. Will definitely look for the wanted poster.

Major thing wrong with the Harvard Poster - the photo of Herold on this one was taken by Gardner on board the monitor AFTER Booth's death and Herold's capture!

The accompanying text explains that: The photographs of the suspects on Harvard’s copy were “tipped-in” after their captures, said Stauffer, possibly by Wendell or a previous owner.

“Someone, whether the donor or someone else, got his hands on this broadside and said, ‘This is unfinished, I have photographs, or I’ll acquire photographs of these suspects and I’ll tip them in myself,” he explained.
