The print is a reproduction of a political cartoon originally published in the June 30, 1860 edition of Vanity Fair. The cartoon depicts delegates acting as their own Plug Uglies during the 1860 Baltimore Convention, which was a nod to the ongoing dispute between the Northern and Southern Democrats during the 1860 Presidential Election. The print is organized and stored in a black album with other reproductive prints.

Three to One You Don't Get It
Vanity Fair
The print is a reproduction of an 1860 political cartoon. In the cartoon, Abraham Lincoln is shown entering a pawn broker shop. Above the shop's door, three globes display the names of Stephen Douglas, John Breckinridge, and John Bell. In Lincoln's proper right hand, he carries an ax. He also carries several rails over his proper left shoulder that are labeled as Chicago Platform, Stock in Trade, Tribune, and Sambo. A dog with a man's face tells Lincoln, "Three to one, you don't get it" meaning that Lincoln will not be able to redeem his rails for the 1860 Presidential Election win. The print is organized and stored in a black album with other reproductive prints.
