Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
In this early prediction of Horace Greeley's
entrance into the 1872 presidential race, the editor is portrayed as a cat
toying coyly with an apprehensive goldfish named "Presidential
Nomination." In the background, Greeley's gentleman-farmer persona is
symbolized by a bouquet of vegetables in a vase and his book, What I Know About
Farming. Prominently displayed near the latter is a more famous advice book, The
Letters of Lord Chesterfield to His Son. In the right foreground is the editor's
spilled inkwell. |
