Our photo illustration will likely offer the best description of this colorful old print except to say that it measures 10 X 13 ˝ inches and it is offered just as we found it torn from a June 16, 1894 issue of the satirical publication Judge. The cartoon is titled THE DEMOCRATIC RICHELIEU and is captioned - DEMOCRATIC SENATOR (ex-confederate brigadier): ‘Take away the sword. States can be ruined without it. Bring me the pen,it is mightier than the sword!’ The graphic satire refers to an all too common division between North & South during Reconstruction and the strong feeling by many in the North that ex-Confederate leaders were continuing their attack against the Union utilizing the pen and politics. A colorful conversation piece, this neat old piece of Americana will frame up nicely.
