Drawing of the death bed scene of President Abraham Lincoln, with a man holding Lincoln H. Faber
Summary
Photograph of a drawing by Hermann Faber; one of two drawings he made at the death bed in 1865. "During the Civil War he served as an artist on the Surgeon General's staff of the Union Army and illustrated the medical records of the war. Faber's military position also allowed him to make two drawings of Lincoln's deathbed scene before the room was cleared." (Source: Philadelphia Sketch Club, 2009)
