Captioned “BOOTH AND HIS ASSOCIATES," this interesting carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph features a composite of seven other CDV views of Lincoln assasination conspirators. Clockwise from the top, they include: Atzerodt, Spangler, O’Laughlin, Payne, Arnold, and Herold. Booth himself is pictured in the center. This is certainly an intriguing photograph, no doubt marketed to a public who were consumed with interest in Booth and his circle following Lincoln’s murder.
