IS FOR SALE A GREAT PIECE OF LINCOLN HISTORY. THIS FORD'S THEATER BROADSIDE IS A TESTAMENT OF THAT DREADFUL NIGHT OF APRIL 14TH 1865 WHEN LINCOLN WENT TO FORDS THEATER AND WAS ASSINNATED BY "BOOTH". THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 19TH CENTURY PLAYBILL, NOT A 20TH CENTURY REPRODUCTION. ALL THE INK AND PAPER ON THIS PLAYBILL IS FROM 1865 AND IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL 19TH CENTURY FRAME. THE PLAYBILL HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE FRAME ONCE TO MAKE SURE IT WAS AN ORIGINAL. THE PAPER IS DRY WITH SOME TEARS AND MISSING 3/4 OF THE LETTER "F" IN THE WORD "FORD'S". AS YOU CAN SEE T IS SOME WATER DAMAGE, RESTORERS CAN REMOVE THESE STAINS QUITE EASILY. THIS PIECE NEEDS A RESTORATION AND TO BE PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED. A RARE PIECE AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ONE SOLD FOR OVER $5,000 IN 2005. YOU NEVER SEE THESE PLAYBILLS FOR SALE ON THE MARKET. IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY. MEASUREMENTS ARE: 5" WIDE X 18" LONG. THIS HAD BEEN BOUGHT AT AN ESTATE SALE LAST SUMMER. GUARENTEED 19TH CENTURY.
