Original pen-and-ink cartoon, 17 x 14 3/4 inches, an uncaptioned drawing showing an African-American corpse staked beside a knife-carrying scarecrow in macabre warning, crows circling overhead, Morton gesticulating to a well-dressed man at a rail fence overlooking the field, signed "Weldon" in the lower right corner; it was prepared for publication, probably in the "New York Daily Graphic," for which Weldon worked. Dated in blue pencil in the lower blank margin "B 6 / Sept 6. 75." Also noted in pencil in the upper margin above a 12-inch pencil line, "Reduce to this width." Morton (1823-1877; Governor of Indiana, 1861-1867, U.S. Senator, 1867-1877) vigorously supported Lincoln and the Union and the Radical Republicans following the war, while he rabidly opposed secession and slavery, and their proponents. Weldon's early work appeared in the New York Daily Graphic and Harper's, but he is best known for illustrating the works of Lafcadio Hearn and for works based on his travels in Japan and China. Very good. Some soiling and a stray ink image in blank margins. (11171).
