"Deplorable Result of Lincoln's Election"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This post-election Vanity Fair cartoon shows the result of Lincoln’s
election on two of the nation’s most politically important newspaper editors,
Democrat James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald and Republican
Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune. The artist pictures Bennett
putting up the shutters on the Herald building in preparation for migration back
to his native Scotland. The street scene in the background underscores the ruin
that Lincoln’s election would bring. That theme is intensified in the final
panel in which Greeley fiddles, à la Nero, while the country burns. |
