Tiny wallpaper swatch attributed to President Abraham Lincoln's 'Death Room' at the Petersen House, across the street from Ford's Theatre, measuring approximately 1" x 1". Accompanied by a letter from the United States Department of the Interior, stating that their examination of a wallpaper sample confirmed it as "authentic and…from the room where Lincoln died"; we presume that this letter pertained to a larger wallpaper sample from which this fragment was cut.
