Vol. III—No. 151. 16 pp. [737-752], four columns, with numerous stories, illustrations and cartoons. Front cover features three striking cartoons showing the “Effect of John Brown’s Invasion At The South.” Two of them depict black slaves making fun of Brown’s Raid, and all three make light of its significance—[1] “Much Obliged to Dar Possum Wattomie For Dese Pikes He Gin Us. Dey’s Turrible Handy to Dig Taters With”, [2] [Black Mammy waving a knife in the Kitchen]—“What’s Dem Fool Nighers Fraid On? I’d Like Ter See One o’ Dem Foks Ondertake to Carry Me Off, I would.!” Interior illustrations include a panoramic double page center fold spread depicting New York City’s boisterous Tammany Hall Politics—“Receiving the Returns at Tammany Hall On Election Night, November 8, 1859.

Exhibits mounting dots and light chipping of left cover margin. Else VG, w/smooth cover. Superb collectible, stunning front cover cartoons that entirely miss the impact that the Brown Harper’s Ferry raid would have on both sections. In protective sleeve, w/white card backing.  [jp]
