LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865) – CURRIER, Nathaniel (1813-1888), IVES, James M. (1824-1895). "Progressive Democracy – Prospect of a Smash Up", New York, 1860.
Lithograph, 341 x 454mm (sheet size), (marginal tears clear of image, worn and creased at corners, a few soiled spots), hinged and matted.
A clever take on the fracturing Democratic Party during the election of 1860 featuring James Buchanan ("Old Buck") on a horse cart stranded on the tracks as the two main Democratic tickets headed by Douglas and Breckinridge pull it in opposite directions – with a locomotive ("Equal Rights") driven by Lincoln and Hamlin bearing down the rails to rend the fracture complete.
