Reddit mentions of John Wilkes Booth Himself

Film-like animated sequence I created of seven photographs of John Wilkes Booth posing with two unidentified men, possibly actors, said to be taken in 1861. The images were probably meant to be used as promotional material for an unknown theatrical production. Photograph source.

The context of the photographs I think might be found in the book "John Wilkes Booth Himself," which is said to have many rare photographs of Booth, but second hand copies cost more than 300 dollars as there were only 1000 copies of the book printed.
