Keene Lincoln Assassination Ford's Theatre Color Photo Tinted Civil War 01959

Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in. Matte Finish: E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come. Glossy (Metallic) finish: Our Metallic Photo Paper features a unique pearlescent surface. It offers highly saturated colors, ultra-bright backgrounds, and will last a lifetime with typical home storage. Laura Keene Star of 'Our American Cousin' Most remembered for one performance, on one night, Laura Keene was the first successful female theater manager with any real power. Born in England, in 1826, she was married at 18 and had two children before her husband left her when she was 25. She made her theatre debut later that year near London. She quickly became very successful. Within two years Keene was managing, directing and performing in a series of plays. She traveled to Baltimore in 1853 for her American debut. At this point, she had only been acting for just over two years. Keene continued her success with performances in California and Australia before returning east and leasing a theatre in New York in 1855. The following year she had her own theatre built, where she performed and controlled until 1863 when she decided to begin touring again. “Our American Cousin” debuted at her theatre in 1858, in an age when a dozen performances was considered “long running”. Under her direction, the play shattered records and set new standards. In New York, it ran for 150 performances before its debut in London where it ran for another 496! So successful was that play that several of the characters got their own plays in a series of spinoffs. It was during a benefit performance in 1865 that Lincoln chose to attend. It should be noted that it was Laura Keene herself that was the beneficiary, in that all proceeds from the performance were reserved for her. This was an honor and expected to draw great crowds. When Lincoln announced he would be attending, Ford knew he had a sellout. About halfway through Act III the funniest line of the play was delivered: "Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal — you sockdologizing old man-trap..." Booth waited for the audience reaction to that line to pull the trigger. After he escaped, Keene made her way to Lincoln’s side and held his head in her lap till he was taken across the street. Following the assassination, she continued her career until she had a hemorrhage while on stage in 1873. She survived for a few more months but never recovered and died a few months later at the age of 47. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
