Description

This is page 240 from Harper's Weekly newspaper, dated April 15, 1865, that features several classified advertisements for products and services. A large cartoon of President Abraham Lincoln fills the top left corner. Lincoln sits with a large U.S. percussion drum on his lap, using it as a surface to write a letter. Text along the bottom reads, "From our Special War Correspondent. 'City Point, VA., April -, 8:30 A.M. All seems well with us' - A. Lincoln."
