Original 1865 sheet music pamphlet for a tune called “Funeral March, to the Memory of Abraham Lincoln.” Written by “Mrs. E.A. Parkhurst," this arrangement was composed as a tribute to the recently assassinated President Lincoln. Visually, the cover is designed to evoke mourning. At the top center, the designer added in the phrase “The Nation Mourns." An identical copy is housed in the Library of Congress.
