Bloody Bedspread

This image was taken by the late Terence Duniho. It is a picture of a picture of the bloody bedspread from the Guest Room, which appears to have been draped over a chair. If you look very carefully, you can see spots of Abby’s blood. Also note that it is a fringed bedspread. This is a rare image, not one seen for quite some time. This photo used to be on display at the Lizzie Borden B&B but was removed some time ago. The bedspread is currently in private hands. The Fall River Historical Society has the the pillow shams from the Guest Room on display in their collection. UPDATE: They also have the bedspread in their collection.
