Description
The print is a reproduction of a two-panel cartoon originally published on 21 March 1868. In the first panel, a tiny Andrew Johnson is depicted standing on the top step of a ladder and lifting a large book from a bookshelf. In the second panel, Johnson has fallen off of the ladder and is crushed under the large book, the Constitution of the United States. The print is organized and stored in a black album with other reproductive prints.
