Image shows a large gathering (5111.01.0621-623 suggests about 5,000 people) in the courthouse square assembled to show their indignation at Lincoln's assassination. The crowd, mostly men, fills the square. There is a line of men sitting on a fence in the foreground behind which are many horses and carriages. The word "office" is visible on the building on the left. There is a small canopy over part of the group which may have been where the speakers stood.
