Description
The cartoon is a reproduction of a nineteenth century political cartoon that depicts Abraham Lincoln and a woman representing the South quarreling. A black man is also pictured in the background. The cartoon is in reference to the secession of South Carolina. The reproduction print has been removed from an unidentified bound volume. However, the original work appeared in the 28 September 1861 edition of Punch, a weekly British satirical magazine established in 1841 by wood engraver Ebenezer Landells and writer Henry Mayhew.
