Description
Abraham Lincoln: Racist Currier & Ives Cartoon. This lithograph by Currier & Ives is titled "The Rail Candidate." The cartoon depicts a somewhat forlorn Lincoln being carried off on a rail labeled "Republican Platform" by his two staunchest supporters, Horace Greeley and a black man, representing the slavery issue. Greeley pithily comments: "We can prove that you have split rails & that will ensure your election to the Presidency." The cartoon measures 18" x 13.5", exhibiting expected wear with old repairs to tears in the lower margin. Has remnants of old mounting tape at extreme top left and right corner edges on verso, not affecting appearance from the front, an issue considered by us to be inconsequential. The print is otherwise in good to very good condition.Auction Info
