Today, we're continuing a look at Ford's Theater. As I mentioned in the last post, I had been to the theater before, and so I was familiar with the preservation of the box in which the Lincolns were seated. However, I was previously unable to see inside. Part of the door has been replaced with plexiglass, allowing you to see the space. Down in the museum is the original door, as well as a piece of wood that John Wilkes Booth used to jam the door from the inside, allowing him to complete his plan.
This layout is based on Cheryl Even's sketch #114. I returned to the CM Legacy collection for papers and embellishments. One of the key features of this sketch is a 12" border cut in half and used at the edge of the photos. One change I made to the layout was to use a stack of 4x4 photos where her sketch called for 4x6 images. That gave me more space between those photos and the vertical photo on the page to add some small embellishments. The title circle was trimmed from one of the collection's mats.
