From left to right: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Rathbone" class="extiw" title="w:Henry Rathbone">Henry Rathbone</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clara_Harris" class="extiw" title="w:Clara Harris">Clara Harris</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Todd_Lincoln" class="extiw" title="w:Mary Todd Lincoln">Mary Todd Lincoln</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" class="extiw" title="w:Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wilkes_Booth" class="extiw" title="w:John Wilkes Booth">John Wilkes Booth</a>. Rathbone is depicted as spotting Booth before he shot Lincoln and trying to stop him as Booth fired his weapon. Rathbone actually was unaware of Booth’s approach, and reacted after the shot was fired. While Lincoln is depicted clutching the flag after being shot, it is also possible that he just simply pushed the flag aside to watch the performance. |
