1863 print of President Lincoln in caricature by Rufus Rockwell Wilson titled "Holding A Candle To The *****" (Much The Same Thing.) This cartoon appeared in the November 7, 1863 issue of Punch Magazine, again offering proof of how the tacit alliance between Russia and the United States grated on the sensibilities of certain high placed Britons, the artist sought to move the multitude to laughter by depicting President Lincoln as Mephistopheles bowing and saluting the Russian Bear. Mr. Lincoln was the victim of many forms of abuse both at home and abroad, but the writer fails to recall any other instance in which he was portrayed in Satan's livery. It stands to Tenniel's credit that not he but another was responsible for this vicious drawing. Imprint at the top, Punch, or The London Charivari-November 7, 1863. 10 3/4 x 8 1/4. Scarce and very desirable Civil War date Abraham Lincoln print. Excellent condition.
