POMEROY'S DEMOCRAT, New York, July 27, 1872
* Anti Republican Party cartoons (elephant)
* Horace Greeley & Ulysses S. Grant
The newspaper publisher, Marcus M. Pomeroy, was staunchly against the administration of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, and his newspaper's title identifies his political leanings.
The front page features a political cartoon mocking Horace Greeley and U.S. Grant, plus another cartoon featuring the Republican elephant as "Radicalism" captioned: "The Effect of Overloading."
Eight pages, glued at the spine where once guillotined, very nice condition.
