QOriginal March 7, 1861 issue of the Albany Times and Courier, a four-page broadsheet published in Albany.

Inside, the first two columns report on Abraham Lincoln as President-Elect, including coverage of his visit to Albany on February 18 while en route to Washington for his inauguration.

On the opposite page is an advertisement for John Wilkes Booth, appearing at the Gayety Theatre, a striking coincidence reflecting the presence of both men in the city just weeks before the inauguration.

More information is in this article, "1861: Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth in Albany".
