Description

The print is a reproduction of a nineteenth century political cartoon. In the cartoon, two men are shown gazing at a large bearded bust of Abraham Lincoln's head, which is seated on a table. One has his proper right hand lifted and gestures toward the bust. Several boxes labeled 'Lincoln Wiskeropherous' sit below the table. The print is organized and stored in a black album with other reproductive prints.
