Description
This black and white illustration is of John C. Calhoun, an American statesman and political theorist from South Carolina who held many important positions including being the seventh vice president of the United States from 1825 to 1832, while adamantly defending slavery and protecting the interests of the white South. Calhoun is depicted as wearing a black coat, vest and tie with a white shirt. "Engraved by H. B. Hall from a Daguerreotype by Brady" is directly beneath the illustration with "John Caldwell Calhoun" typed beneath that. Calhoun's signature is depicted beneath the caption. The illustration is within volume two of Abraham Lincoln : A History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay.
