Abstract

Lincoln in Cartoons

This article presents information on the book "Abraham Lincoln: His Path to the Presidency," by author Albert Shaw. The author has given much time to the compilation of this cartoon history of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and has included in his two volumes many hitherto unpublished cartoons culled both at `home and abroad. He has nut been content to reprint the familiar English ones, but has found others quite as much worth while, and he has gone to the European cartoonists for examples as well. Nor has he confined his selections to those relating only to the Emancipator. He has included contemporary portraits and cartoons of all the notables of Lincoln's time, both Southern and Northern, those in public life and out, so that we have a loose, running pictorial history of the whole period of Lincoln's activities.
