April 14, 1865-Dated, Collage of Three Mounted Woodcuts showing President Abraham Lincoln, the Virginia State Seal, and a Head of a Black Man “Parody” of the Connecticut State Seal, Very Fine.

Unusual, certainly unique eclectic group of (3) Woodcuts, each mounted to a larger sheet of light brown paper, measuring 4.75” x 7.75”, with ink manuscript notation reading: "Abm. Lincoln / Pub. April 14, 1865. Killed on that day by J. Wilkes Booth". Images are comprised of a Portrait of a Beardless Abraham Lincoln at left, a parody of the Connecticut State Seal with the head of a Black man at the top of it, and the State motto "Qui Transtulit Sust[inet]" - which translates roughly to "He who transplanted us, still sustains", and the Virginia State Seal with the motto "Sic Semper Tyrannus", the slogan which John Wilkes Booth shouted out after he shot President Lincoln on stage at Ford’s Theatre.
