OBSEQUIES OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. ORDER OF FUNERAL PROCESSION caption title
N.p. but almost certainly Springfield Il 1865. Broadside 12 x 9 inches. Printed in three columns edged with a printed black border. Old folds center vertical fold with some separation. Moderate staining. Still very good. Framed. Likely a proof copy of the exceedingly rare broadside announcing the funeral procession for President Abraham Lincoln in Springfield in early May 1865. Struck down by assassin John Wilkes Booth on April 15 1865 Lincoln's body lay in state in the White House on April 18 and a ceremonial funeral service took place in Washington D.C. around noon on April 19. Two days later President Lincoln's casket was loaded on a funeral train headed for Springfield Illinois stopping at Baltimore Harrisburg Philadelphia New York City Albany Buffalo Cleveland Columbus Indianapolis Michigan City and Chicago before arriving in Lincoln's adopted hometown early on the morning of May 3. At this time Springfield's population numbered around 15000 but Lincoln's funeral train pulled into a town swollen with over 100000 visiting mourners. Immediately upon arrival Lincoln's coffin was transferred by hearse to Representatives' Hall inside the Illinois Old State Capitol. For the next twenty-four hours from about ten o'clock in the morning on May 3 to the same time the next day about 75000 mourners were allowed to pass by the open coffin of the slain president to pay last respects. <br> <br> According to the present broadside President Lincoln's funeral procession left the Old State Capitol "on Thursday the 4th Inst. at 10 o'clock a.m. precisely." The funeral party of over 10000 people then turned right on 7th Street to pass by the Lincoln family home and then right up Cook Street to proceed past the Governor's Mansion before heading north to Oak Ridge Cemetery. <br> <br> This broadside printing of the order of the procession for Lincoln's Springfield funeral was probably printed the afternoon of May 3 or possibly even the morning of May 4 the day of the funeral. Surrounded by a heavy black band the broadside lists all the persons and units involved in the procession along with their places and the rules for the day. The entire procession was divided into eight divisions with Gen. Joseph Hooker acting as Marshal in Chief. The first three divisions of the military escort represented all the elements of the Army and Navy. After them came the attending clergy and Lincoln's attending physicians. Next was the casket itself the only wheeled vehicle in the procession with the pall bearers to each side followed by Lincoln's horse and then the immediate family. Three more military divisions followed interspersed with government officials ambassadors and state officials followed by delegations from Springfield and other Illinois towns. Next were representatives of various organizations delegations from colleges lawyers doctors and the press Masons Odd Fellows and firemen all interspersed with two more military divisions. The final segment of the funeral procession was designated for "Citizens at large" and "Colored Persons." <br> <br> The broadside gives directions for locations for the forming up of each group. Only marshals were allowed to be on horseback; all others walked. Bands were under the direction of the Committee on Music. Other particular directions follow including regulations for the colors of the various scarves worn by the marshals. The text of the document ends with directions to keep the streets through which the procession passes "clear from sidewalk to sidewalk." <br> <br> This broadside must have been widely distributed to assist the mourners in Springfield but like all such ephemeral pieces few copies have survived. OCLC locates only six at Indiana University the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Library the Boston Athenaeum the Chapin Library at Williams College the John Hay Library at Brown University and the Library Company of Philadelphia. The latter location also attributes the place of printing to Springfield. There is also a copy at the Library of Congress and a copy formerly owned by noted collector James Copley and previously sold by this firm. <br> <br> The present copy is likely an early printer's proof of the broadside as it lacks the first three letters of the word "FUNERAL" in the title. The Library of Congress copy is also likely a proof with its variant title omitting the words "ORDER OF." Both copies also lack the letter "e" in "Order" in the first sentence of text. These errors speak to the haste and stress under which this broadside was surely produced perhaps the day before or the very morning of the day when America's greatest president the Savior of the Union and Illinois' favorite son was laid to rest in a city teeming with seven times its own population in attendance. <br> <br> A remarkable and moving document reflecting a moment of national grief perhaps only approached by the John F. Kennedy funeral and memorializing the day when America's first assassinated president was solemnly committed to the earth. OCLC 5023077 79462381. unknown books

THE PROCLAMATION OF EMANCIPATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1st 1863 cover title
Boston: J.M. Forbes 1862. 7pp. Miniature 3 1/4 x 2 1/8 inches. Original printed salmon wrappers. Slight soiling to wrappers light tanning. Very good. In a cloth chemise and half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. The first and only contemporary printing of Lincoln's historic act in separate pamphlet form the seventh edition overall. The preliminary proclamation of the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on September 22 1862 shortly following the Battle of Antietam and declared the freedom of all slaves in any Confederate state that did not return to Union control by January 1 1863. A quotation by Alexander Stephens "Vice President of the so-called Confederate States" entitled "Slavery the Chief Corner- Stone" is printed on the rear wrapper. This small pamphlet was printed by John Murray Forbes in Boston for distribution by Union soldiers to blacks at the front lines and legend has it that he printed a million copies. Its scarcity in institutions and in the market however would seem to belie that notion; it is among the rarest of editions of the Proclamation no doubt because of its small size.

AMNESTY PROCLAMATION AND THIRD ANNUAL MESSAGE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES READ IN CONGRESS WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 9 1863
Washington 1863. 20pp. Original printed wrappers. Light toning. A near fine copy in wonderful condition. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. The rare pamphlet printing of Lincoln's December 8 1863 proclamation read before Congress the next day offering amnesty to citizens of the Confederacy providing they take an oath that they "will abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion having reference to slaves" i.e. the Emancipation Proclamation. When the number of persons in any state taking the oath reached ten percent of the number of voters in 1860 this group of loyal voters could form a state government that could be recognized by the President. The Amnesty Proclamation was issued with President Lincoln's third Annual Message to Congress i.e. State of the Union Address on December 8 1863; the State of the Union Address follows the Amnesty Proclamation here. <br> <br> Toward the close of 1863 with the Confederate Army in full retreat discussions in Congress centered on how to restore the southern states to the Union. "The crisis which threatened to divide the friends of the Union is past" announced Lincoln. Now it was the duty of Congress to ensure that all citizens in the South regardless of race were guaranteed the equal protection of the law. A number of competing proposals emerged from deliberations but in the end during his message to Congress on December 8 1863 Lincoln declared reconstruction of the South a wholly executive responsibility and "offered 'full pardon.with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves' to all rebels who would take an oath of future loyalty to the Constitution and pledge to obey acts of Congress and presidential proclamations relating to slavery" Donald p.471. <br> <br> Those excluded from taking the oath were the highest ranking members of the Confederacy - government officials judges military and naval officers above the rank of army colonel or navy lieutenant former congressmen and "all who have engaged in treating colored persons or white persons otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of war." Lincoln further encouraged the southern states to make provisions "in relation to the freed people of such State which shall recognize and declare their permanent freedom provide for their education and which may yet be consistent as a temporary arrangement with their present condition as a laboring landless and homeless class." <br> <br> "Lincoln indicated that this was only one plan for reconstructing the rebel South and while it was the best he could think of for now he would gladly consider others and possibly adopt them. He might even modify his own classes of pardons if that seemed warrantable.Afterward almost everybody but die-hard Democrats seemed happy with the plan" Oates p.371. <br> <br> A lovely copy of Lincoln's hugely important Amnesty Proclamation. MONAGHAN 191. SABIN 41162 note. David Herbert Donald LINCOLN New York 1995 p.471. Stephen B. Oates WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE: A LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN New York 1977 p.371. hardcover books

PROCLAMATION OF AMNESTY. THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION IS APPENDED TO THE MESSAGE. PROCLAMATION caption title
N.p. perhaps Virginia 1864. 3pp. on a single folded sheet. with: OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. N.p. perhaps Harper's Ferry Va. 1864. Single sheet 3 x 7 3/4 inches. The OATH affixed to a partial manuscript ledger report recording lost military stores for an unidentified unit in 1863 which is itself glued to the verso of the last blank page of the Amnesty Proclamation. Minor toning light foxing some wrinkling. Overall very good. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. An exceedingly rare separate printing - perhaps by a military field press - of President Abraham Lincoln's December 1863 presidential proclamation offering amnesty to citizens of the Confederacy providing they take an oath that they "will abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion having reference to slaves" i.e. the Emancipation Proclamation. When the number of persons in any state taking the oath reached ten percent of the number of voters in 1860 this group of loyal voters could form a state government that could be recognized by the President. The Amnesty Proclamation was issued with President Lincoln's third Annual Message to Congress i.e. State of the Union Address on December 8 1863. It was appended per the language in the title here to the official printing of that address but also printed separately. <br> <br> The present printing almost certainly executed in the weeks after Lincoln's State of the Union was likely hastily composed from the text of the official printing of the proclamation. The work carries no imprint information of any kind and bears the hallmarks of a military field press printing. <br> <br> Toward the close of 1863 with the Confederate Army in full retreat discussions in Congress centered on how to restore the Southern states to the Union. "The crisis which threatened to divide the friends of the Union is past" announced Lincoln. Now it was the duty of Congress to ensure that all citizens in the South regardless of race were guaranteed the equal protection of the law. A number of competing proposals emerged from deliberations but in the end during his message to Congress on Dec. 8 1863 Lincoln declared reconstruction of the South a wholly executive responsibility and "offered 'full pardon.with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves' to all rebels who would take an oath of future loyalty to the Constitution and pledge to obey acts of Congress and presidential proclamations relating to slavery" Donald p.471. <br> <br> Those excluded from taking the oath were the highest ranking members of the Confederacy - government officials judges military and naval officers above the rank of army colonel or navy lieutenant former congressmen and "all who have engaged in treating colored persons or white persons otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of war." Lincoln further encouraged the southern states to make provisions "in relation to the freed people of such State which shall recognize and declare their permanent freedom provide for their education and which may yet be consistent as a temporary arrangement with their present condition as a laboring landless and homeless class." <br> <br> "Lincoln indicated that this was only one plan for reconstructing the rebel South and while it was the best he could think of for now he would gladly consider others and possibly adopt them. He might even modify his own classes of pardons if that seemed warrantable. Afterward almost everybody but die-hard Democrats seemed happy with the plan" Oates p.371. <br> <br> The proclamation is accompanied by a partially-printed OATH OF ALLEGIANCE dated 1864 and datelined Harper's Ferry Virginia. The oath requires the taker to "solemnly swear that I will support protect and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies." It is signed in type by Henry A. Urban Lieutenant and A.D.C. Aide-de-Camp. The oath is printed with a blank space for the name of the person taking the oath and the date. There is also a space for people who know the oath-taker and "certify on honor that we know Mr. blank to be a true and loyal man to the Federal Government." The OATH is affixed to a partial manuscript ledger report recording lost military stores for an unidentified unit in 1863 <br> <br> This printing of the Amnesty Proclamation is just as interesting as the government broadside printing or the first pamphlet printing as this edition would have also been used in the field by Union troops encountering Confederate rebels. The composition of the beginning of the seventh paragraph is consistent with the first pamphlet printing of the Amnesty Proclamation Monaghan 191 and not the broadside printing. The text here begins "Therefore I Abraham Lincoln."; in the broadside printing the "Therefore" is present at the end of the preceding paragraph. The simple and somewhat loose execution of the composition seen here is consistent with field press printings as is the lack of an imprint of any kind. Perhaps this simple production was intended for Union troops to literally hand to Confederate soldiers to read. The presence of the portion of the ledger and the Oath of Allegiance lends credence to the notion that this edition of the Amnesty Proclamation was produced for use by the military. <br> <br> This printing of the Amnesty Proclamation is not in Monaghan OCLC nor in any reference work we could find. In fact we could find no other three-page editions of the Amnesty Proclamation at all. Surely printed in small numbers to begin with it is perhaps a unique surviving example. MONAGHAN 191 ref.

Civil War: Lincoln Abraham: Cook John Pope
GENERAL ORDERS No. 139. THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT IS PUBLISHED FOR THE INFORMATION AND GOVERNMENT OF THE ARMY AND ALL CONCERNED: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION. Contained in: A THREE-VOLUME SET OF GENERAL ORDERS TO THE UNION ARMY FROM THE OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL COVERING 1861 AND 1862 COLLECTED BY BRIGADIER GENERAL JOHN POPE COOK
Washington D.C.: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1862. Three volumes with over 300 individual imprints. 12mo. Uniformly bound in contemporary three- quarter roan and marbled boards gilt leather labels. Wear to leather and edges boards somewhat rubbed front hinges tender. Contemporary ownership inscriptions and binder's tickets on front endpapers of second and third volumes; later bookplate on front pastedown of first volume. Light toning in places otherwise internally clean. Very good. A uniformly-bound set of General Orders issued by the Adjutant General's Office of the War Department in Washington D.C. previously owned by Brig. Gen. John Pope Cook. The orders cover 1861 and 1862 and comprise a nearly complete run of orders for the Union Army during the first two years of the Civil War. Undoubtedly the most significant General Order in this collection is a preliminary printing of the Emancipation Proclamation. <br> <br> A handful of the orders are signed in ink by the various adjutant generals. The Emancipation Proclamation bound in the third volume is as follows: <br> <br> GENERAL ORDERS No. 139. THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT IS PUBLISHED FOR THE INFORMATION AND GOVERNMENT OF THE ARMY AND ALL CONCERNED: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION caption title. Washington D.C.: War Department Adjutant General's Office ca. September 24 1862. 3pp. This work is one of the earliest printings of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation issued to regimental commanders in the field during the Civil War in the week after President Lincoln's official manuscript version was finished. Here the third paragraph rings out with Lincoln's timeless words: "That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty- three all persons held as slaves within any State or designated area of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then thenceforward and forever free." <br> <br> Following the Seven Days Battle and Gen. McClellan's retreat from the Peninsula at the end of June 1862 President Lincoln realized that there would be no early end to the war and found himself "as inconsolable as it was possible for a human to be and yet live." Anxious for news from the army and needing to escape the constant interruptions at the White House he frequently visited the telegraph office in the War Department building to await dispatches. It was during one such visit early in July that he asked the chief of the telegraph staff Maj. Thomas Thompson Eckert for some paper to "write something special" and began the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation completing it in a few weeks. <br> <br> Lincoln had long hoped to resolve the slavery issue through a congressional act of emancipation compensating slave owners for their loss of "property" but that approach was roundly rejected by representatives from the border states leaving the President who had decided upon the necessity of emancipation with a presidential proclamation as the only option. The extraordinary document he conceived would announce the liberation on January 1 1863 of all slaves in those states still in rebellion against the Union and promised compensation to slave owners in those states that returned to the fold before that time if they adopted "immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery." This proclamation would be followed by a final proclamation issued on the 1st of January identifying those states still in rebellion and confirming the liberation of all slaves therein. <br> <br> On Tuesday July 22 Lincoln presented his draft to the Cabinet telling them that he had resolved firmly upon the course of action it specified and asking them not for advice but suggestions. The only observation he had not anticipated came from Secretary of State Seward who proposed that it might be best to wait for a military victory before issuing the Proclamation as it could otherwise seem like "the last measure of an exhausted government." Immediately recognizing the wisdom of the suggestion Lincoln held back. On September 17 after an anxious wait of nearly two months he received the victory he needed at the bloody Battle of Antietam. Completing his final draft Lincoln presented it to his cabinet for refinement on September 22. Following the meeting Seward took the amended draft with him to the State Department where a formal manuscript copy was made then signed by Lincoln and Seward. <br> <br> The first edition of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation Eberstadt #1 a small three-page circular intended for distribution within the government and to the local press was likely printed on September 22. At the time that Charles Eberstadt published his study of the Proclamation 1950 he was able to locate only one copy which he himself owned and as nearly as we have been able to determine no other copies have come to light since then. <br> <br> Eberstadt #2 is a supposed second edition no copy of which Charles Eberstadt was able to locate whose existence he inferred from the standard State Department practice of printing a folio edition consisting solely of the text of the proclamation followed by another printing consisting of the text of a letter of transmittal from the Secretary of State as well as the text of the proclamation. While there may be a copy of Eberstadt #2 in the National Archives as he speculated it is not recorded in their online catalogue nor have we been able to find a copy in any other online catalogue including OCLC the Library of Congress and the Abraham Lincoln Library. <br> <br> Eberstadt's third printing of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation is without a doubt the earliest obtainable printing. It consists of Secretary of State Seward's one-page letter of transmittal addressed "To the Diplomatic and Consular Officers of the United States in foreign countries" and the text of the proclamation. Eberstadt located a total of only five copies in institutions at the Library of Congress the National Archives Yale the Clements Library and Brown. OCLC does not record any additional copies nor is it recorded in Monaghan. This firm sold a copy several years ago. <br> <br> The present copy of GENERAL ORDERS No. 139 is Eberstadt's fourth printing of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation dated in print on September 24. Charles Eberstadt surmises that this field order printing could have been accomplished as late as September 29 or 30 and produced in as many as 15000 copies. It is however rather uncommon in the market and this is the first copy of this printing of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation offered by this firm. <br> <br> "From the first days of the Civil War slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically. As a milestone along the road to slavery's final destruction the Emancipation Proclamation has assumed a place among the great documents of human freedom" - National Archives. "The proclamation has been called by responsible persons one of the three great documents of world history ranking with Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence" - Eberstadt. <br> <br> Besides including about 300 orders on all manner of Union military activity at the outset of the Civil War the present collection also contains the 1861 printing of REGULATIONS FOR THE UNIFORM AND DRESS FOR THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES. Set out in GENERAL ORDERS No. 6 this twenty-four-page printing of the Army dress regulations was the first to set out uniform requirements for the Union during the conflict. The first sentence of the first section requires officers to "wear a frock coat of dark blue cloth." Thus the Blue and the Gray begins. <br> <br> This set was collected and bound by John Pope Cook who began the Civil War as a colonel in command of the 7th Illinois Volunteer Regiment. He was promoted to brigadier general after his troops played a key role in the Union victory at Fort Donelson early in 1862. After his promotion he was transferred to a command in the Department of Iowa and Dakota Territory where he remained until early 1863 conducting campaigns against the Sioux from his base in Sioux City Iowa. These orders must have been bound near the end of this period since contemporary labels note the binder one William F. Kiter as being from relatively close by Council Bluffs. <br> <br> A very early printing of one of the most important political acts in the Civil War and indeed in American history contained in a set of General Orders contemporaneously assembled by a significant Union Army commander.

AN ORATION DELIVERED ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF GETTYSBURG NOVEMBER 19 1863 AT THE CONSECRATION OF THE CEMETERY PREPARED FOR THE INTERMENT OF THE REMAINS OF THOSE WHO FELL IN THE BATTLES OF JULY 1st 2d AND 3d 1863
New York: Baker & Godwin 1863. 48pp. Publisher's printed wrappers publisher's advertisement on rear wrapper. Spine perished. Very good. In a blue morocco box. The earliest publication of the Gettysburg Address in book form. This edition was preceded only by the exceptionally rare sixteen-page pamphlet THE GETTYSBURG SOLEMNITIES known in only three copies. <br> <br> Lincoln made his speech at the dedication of a cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Lincoln's speech was preceded by an address from Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day. Everett's speech took some ninety minutes to deliver and is largely forgotten. Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes is immortal. It is a supreme distillation of American values and of the sacrifices necessary for the survival of liberty and freedom. "The WASHINGTON CHRONICLE of 18-21 November reported extensively on this ceremony and included a verbatim text of 'Edward Everett's Great Oration.' On the fourth day it noted in passing that the President had also made a speech but gave no details. When it came to the separate publication on 22 November Everett's 'Oration' was reprinted from the standing type but Lincoln's speech had to be set up. It was tucked away as a final paragraph on page 16 of the pamphlet THE GETTYSBURG SOLEMNITIES. It was similarly treated when the meanly produced leaflet was replaced by a 48-page booklet published by Baker and Godwin of New York in the same year" - PMM. <br> <br> Lincoln's address appears on page 40 and parenthetical notes are added indicating "applause" and "long-continued applause." A diagram on page 32 gives the details of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg. HOWES E232 "b." MONAGHAN 193. GROLIER AMERICAN 100 72 note. STREETER SALE 1747. SABIN 23263.

RARE FIRST PRINTING OF TWO OF PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S FINAL THREE PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATIONS
Washington D.C. 1865. Broadside 13 x 8 1/4 inches. Faint dust-soiling minor edge wear with a few short marginal tears repaired on verso. Very good. A rare first broadside printing announcing two of President Lincoln's three final proclamations "Closing Certain Ports" and "Port of Key West to Remain Open" both issued on April 11 1865. President Lincoln issued these proclamations just three days before he was cut down by assassin John Wilkes Booth. Both proclamations are signed in type by Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward. <br> <br> The first proclamation "Closing Certain Ports" shut down a large number of Confederate ports all listed on the proclamation and indicates that "all rights of importation warehousing and other privileges shall in respect to the ports aforesaid cease until they have again been opened by order of the President; and if while said ports are closed any ship or vessel from beyond the United States or having on board any articles subject to duties shall attempt to enter any such port the same together with its tackle apparel furniture and cargo shall be forfeited to the United States." It was President Lincoln's 126th proclamation. <br> <br> The second proclamation "Port of Key West to Remain Open" was issued to amend the previous proclamation. It states that "the port of Key West in the state of Florida was inadvertently included among those which are not open to commerce" and declares that "said port of Key West is and shall remain open to foreign and domestic commerce." It was President Lincoln's 127th proclamation. <br> <br> These two documents constitute the antepenultimate and penultimate proclamations issued by President Lincoln; his last entitled "Claiming Equality of Rights with All Maritime Nations" was promulgated the same day. An important pair of proclamations among the last acts of the Great Emancipator before his untimely demise. unknown books

THE RAIL CANDIDATE
New York: Currier & Ives 1860. Lithograph 13 1/2 x 18 inches. Moderate age-toning foxing and soiling. Moderate browning in margins. Small closed tears and chips in margins one moderate-size closed tear in left margin. A fair copy. A lithographic political cartoon published by Currier & Ives commenting upon the anti- slavery plank of the 1860 Republican platform. "The 'essential' anti-Lincoln cartoon of 1860" - Holzer et al. Abraham Lincoln is shown being carried uncomfortably in the middle of a split wooden rail an allusion to both the platform and to Lincoln's backwoods origins. Supporting the left end of the rail is a black man in simple working clothes who states "Dis N asterisks ours strong and willin' but its awful hard work to carry Old Massa Abe on nothing but dis ere rail!!" Holding the right end of the rail is well-dressed newspaper editor and strong Lincoln supporter Horace Greeley identified by a copy of his NEW YORK TRIBUNE in his coat pocket. Greeley tells Lincoln "We can prove that you have split rails & that will ensure your election to the Presidency." Lincoln replies "It is true I have split rails but I begin to feel as if this rail would split me it's the hardest stick I ever straddled." Lincoln is depicted - visually and thematically - as a straddler at best while the images of Greeley and the African American supporting the rail are derisive. <br> <br> A finely drawn and insightful political cartoon from the 1860 election.
