Ford Lincoln Rocking Theater Washington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Washington, DC rocking chair once used by President Abraham Lincoln during his visits to Ford's Theatre in the pivotal years of 1862-1865. The chair, a symbol of comfort and relaxation amidst the tumultuous events of the American Civil War, holds historical significance as the very place from which Lincoln was fatally shot on the night of April 14, 1865. The image, taken between 1862 and 1865, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of the nation hung in the balance. The chair, adorned with intricate carvings and a worn, weathered appearance, stands as a testament to the weight of history that it has borne witness to. President Lincoln's visits to Ford's Theatre were a respite from the pressures of the Civil War, a time for him to unwind and enjoy a performance with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. However, the tranquility of those evenings was shattered on April 14, 1865, when John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate sympathizer, approached the President as he sat in this very chair and fired the shot that would end his life. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact that one moment can have on history. The Washington, DC rocking chair, now a cherished artifact, continues to tell the story of a nation in turmoil and the man who led it through its darkest hour.
