A nation in tears: 150 years after Lincoln's death

Color illustrated broadside advertising University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's exhibit titled "A Nation in Tears: 150 Years after Lincoln's Death" presented by the university's Rare Book and Manuscript Library and Illinois History and Lincoln Collections to commemorate the sesquicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Text begins: "Few events in American history have had a greater impact on Americans than the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. That tragedy precipitated an unprecedented outpouring of grief and commemoration, especially because it followed hard upon the collapse of the Confederate cause. Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865, only five days after Robert E. Lee's surrender to U.S. Grant at Appomattox." Includes color images, titles, dimensions, and descriptions of Lincoln-related artifacts scheduled to be on exhibit in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library from February 12 to May 4, 2015.
