INTRODUCTION 
 
 OLITICAL CARICATURE, like the newspaper press, is a compara 
 tively recent method for the expression of opinion and criticism, though 
 it antedates the modern newspaper which reviews in editorials the 
 actions of those in power. Its earliest legitimate forms may be seen 
 in the famous folio volume of the caricatures of James Gillray, the English artist, 
 who devoted his genius to castigating the social and political evils of his time 
 and holding up to ridicule the foibles and habits of the then reigning Hanoverian 
 family. Born in 1757, he early evinced a remarkable artistic ability, but it was 
 not until 1780 that Gillray interested himself in politics chiefly; and, although, 
 he ceased to work after 1810, he had achieved, long before that time, an enormous 
 popularity through the terrible power of his scathing and even ruthless wit. His 
 coarseness of satiric expression, however, removes him altogether from the cari 
 cature artists of our day. 
 
 In 1830, John Doyle, the father of Richard Doyle the celebrated artist of 
 "Punch," began to issue his long series of political cartoons, under the signature, 
 
 436391 
 
"H. B." These consisted mainly of satirical portraits of contemporary English 
 celebrities of the political world, whose conduct in the affairs of state called for 
 censure and animadversion. They made a great sensation at the time, but they 
 are not now very highly esteemed either for their historical interest or artistic value. 
 Doyle, however, was really the founder of the modern school of caricature art, and 
 it is due to his influence and the establishment, in 1841, of the English comic 
 weekly, "Punch," that the art was cultivated and exploited in the United States. 
 
 Doyle differed from Gillray in that he reproduced the exact portraits of the 
 people he caricatured, and this method was followed by the American artists who, 
 in the late forties of the nineteenth century, initiated their special branch of the 
 art. Doyle s drawings were reproduced by lithography, and the American pub 
 lishers employed the same method of printing. Messrs. Currier & Ives of New 
 York began to issue their famous lithographic sheets in 1848, the year of Taylor s 
 election. These sheets are now very rare. 
 
 The caricatures reproduced in this volume date from 1856, and include the 
 most important of those which were issued between that year and 1873. All 
 have been photographed direct from the originals in the possession of a collector. 
 
The earliest deal with the Fillmore campaign, and were drawn by Louis Maurer. 
 These are followed by the caricatures of the Buchanan and Douglas campaign, 
 the Jackson election, and those inspired by the Abolition Movement in- which 
 Lincoln played so important a part. The War of the Secession received its share 
 of satiric treatment, and a number of the sheets it called forth are given here, 
 several depicting personal encounters between Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson 
 Davis. The political conditions which were precipitated as the aftermath of the 
 Civil War, and especially the rancorous relations which marked the attitude of 
 the Republican and Democratic parties towards each other, are pictured here in 
 a number of drawings revealing a humor which is, perhaps, too raw for our more 
 cultivated tastes. 
 
 This collection is, unquestionably, of permanent historical value and of more 
 than passing interest. Our ancestors had a rough and ready way with them of 
 expressing their likes and dislikes, especially in the heat of electoral campaigns; 
 but they said what they honestly thought; and it is this sincerity of expression 
 which so appeals to us, despite its lack of artistic finish and even crude vulgarity. 
 As draughtsmen, the artists of these caricatures were not of the most accomplished 
 
order, but there is no mistaking their intention, nor are we left in any doubt as 
 to the identities of the individuals satirized, nor the meaning of the moral they 
 desired to convey. 
 
 To avoid any misapprehension as to either one or the other, they printed the 
 names below the portraits, and used loops, inscribed with the words of the speakers, 
 and issuing from their mouths. Modern art has improved on this nai ve and 
 direct method; but if it has gained in power of suggestion, it does not evince a 
 more vigorous power of trenchant criticism, nor does it display the almost terri 
 ble freedom of satiric humor which is the interesting characteristic of early 
 American caricature art. 
 
 With the advent of the illustrated newspaper and the comic weekly, the day 
 of the lithographed sheets was over. The former took the place of the latter, 
 and the work achieved by Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler remains today 
 among the distinguished achievements in the sphere of pictorial satire. None 
 the less, however, the cartoons of the earlier period will continue to hold their 
 interest and value both to the historian and the student of the social develop 
 ment of the United States,

A THRILLING INCIDENT DURING VOTING,- 18 WARD, PHILADELPHIA, OCT. II. 
 
 An oM man over seventy years of age advanced to the window, leaning tremblingly on his siafl*. when an omcious copperhead vote distributor 
 approached him and thrusting a ticket in his face said. "Here is an old Jackson Democrat who always vo>3 a straight ticket" 
 
 The old man opened the ballot and held it with trembling fingers until he had read one or two of the names, when he flung it from him with loath 
 ing, and in a voice husky with emotion, exclaimed: *I despise you more than I hate the rebel who sent his bullet through my dead son s heart ! You 
 miserable creature! Do you expect me to dishonor my poor boys memory, and vote for men who charges American soldiers, fighting for their country, 
 with being hirelings and murderers T
