Sketch of Abraham Lincoln's death-bed scene.
Hermann Faber, Army Medical Museum illustrator
April 15, 1865.
Immediately after the removal of Lincoln's body, Hermann Faber, a medical artist on duty at the Army Medical Museum, entered the room where the president had died and made a sketch, which he showed to Dr. Woodward who provided details of the position of those present at the time of Lincoln's demise. Drs. Woodward and Barnes approved the accuracy of the sketch. |
