  Title:

  [Civil war-era political cartoons]

  Imprint:

  [s.l. : s.n., 186-.]

  Physical description:

  107 prints, encapsulated.

  Note:

  A collection of 107 editorial cartoons related primarily to civil war-era political themes. Few of the cartoons are signed. Of these, 17 are by Thomas Nast, and appear to have been clipped from issues of Harper's Weekly or similar contemporary news magazines. Thirty-seven of the cartoons in the collection were issued as prints by Currier & Ives.

  Note:

  While most of these cartoons relate to Abraham Lincoln, the civil war, post-war reconstruction, and contemporary national political themes, such as prsidential electoral politics, slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation, there is a small group concerning political themes from the 1830s.
