Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:23805364 | President: Abraham Lincoln |
| Original/Reproduction: Antique Original | Original/Reprint: Original Print |
| Type: Photograph |
Very rare and fascinating, original ca1863 Albumen CDV Photograph of a Civil War Editorial Caricature /Cartoon in the style of the Cartoon Lithograph Prints of the period depicting President Abraham Lincoln dressed in the clothing of a very Old Lady and reading a newspaper with a headline that reads "Draft". This is decidedly an Ant-Lincoln Cartoon related to the New York Draft Riots of 1863. The Image is titled in the negative "That's What's the Matter".
Thi...s is a period, albumen Photo measuring approx. 2 3/8" by 3 1/2" and is mounted on its original, photographer's card mount (overall size of card mount is 2 5/8" by 4"). The Photograph is copyright 1863 by John Hall and Co. and carries Hall’s mark on the back of the mount.
This humorous, Anti-Lincoln Cartoon depicts a caricature of the President wearing a dress and a bonnet and holding a newspaper in his right hand and a magnifying glass in his right. The shadow cast on the wall is that of a very old “Hag” - looking very much like Judy of the old “Punch and Judy” puppet show. It appears Lincoln is discovering just “What’s the Matter” in New York City where at the time the Draft Riots were occurring. The face of Abraham Lincoln appears to have been taken from an actual photograph of the President.
This rare and fascinating, Albumen CDV Photograph featuring an anti-Abraham Lincoln Political Cartoon is in very good condition. The Image exhibits sharp focus and good contrast and tonality although the Photo is somewhat light. The card mount has some soiling and edge wear.
A very rare and fascinating, CDV Composite Anti-Abraham Lincoln Political Cartoon CDV Photograph and a fantastic addition to any collection!!
