Description
Abraham Lincoln: Racist Currier & Ives Cartoon. 13.5" x 18" medium folio lithograph by Currier & Ives titled "The Rail Candidate." It depicts a rather forlorn Lincoln being carried 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." Light perimeter foxing and aging, but a fine example overall.Auction Info
