[LINCOLN, Abraham]. CURRIER & IVES, publishers. "Abraham's Dream! 'Coming Events Cast their Shadows Before,'" a lithographic political cartoon. New York: Currier & Ives, 1864. 1 page (13½ x 17¾ in.), lightly browned, margin with two small punctures.
A JAUNDICED VIEW OF A SECOND TERM. A pointed prediction that Lincoln would lose the Presidential election of 1864. While Lincoln slumbers in the foreground (under a star-spangled coverlet) his nightmare unfolds behind: Under a gateway labeled "White House," an angry Lady Liberty holds aloft a severed head, and pursues a fleeing Lincoln, clutching his suitcase. Lincoln's speech balloon reads "This don't remind me of any joke." To the right, with calm demeanor, George B. McClellan strides up the steps to the White House, suitcase in hand.
