Vol. XVI—No. 804. 24 pp. [401-424], 11” x 15.5, four columns, illustrations and cartoons. Front covers features an 1872 presidential election illustration by famed cartoonist Thomas Nast, depicting a giggling Carl Schurz handing a Horace Greeley jester puppet to a disdainful female. Dangling from puppet stick are tags—“For Pres. Of the U.S. / H..G. [Horace Greedey]”—“Presented to the Nation by Liberals.” Cartoon caption: “Adding insult to injury / Any thing to make our Republic look ridiculous.” Obvious, Harper’s Weekly took a dim view of Democratic candidate Horace Greely.

Interior illustrations include two more Thomas Nast election cartoons, the second featuring a U.S. Grant depicted as William Tell with a crossbow, looking disdainfully over his should at gang of Greely supporters, backgrounded by a New York Tribune façade—"Anything to Beat Grant—the New York Tribune’s choice.” The third depicts a caricatured Horace Greeley holding a “N.Y. Trombone, with the caption “What’s in a name?...whoever calls this an “organ” [meaning the Herald Tribune] is a liar, a villain and a scoundrel.”

An excellent Thomas Nast Harper’s Weekly collectible. In protective sleeve.  [jp] [ph:L]
