RE: Nice playbill reproduction
That is a nice repro. I also liked the broadside advertising for horses for the Union army. In Southern Maryland, the Feds just went around confiscating horses...

I believe one of those reproduction playbills came with Alan Axelrod's book Lincoln's Last Night The whole contents of Lincoln's wallet came with the book including the newspaper articles that he had on him.

RE: Nice playbill reproduction
I have that book, Craig and the playbill is nothing like this one. Very small and on that phony parchment that you usually see. It's worthless.
I checked an original playbill I have from Ford's from a play on Jan. 7th., 1865 and it measures 19"L X 5 1/2 W. This repro, although larger than an original, looks much better than what came with the book.
