- Horace Greeley (left) and candidate Abraham Lincoln (resting his elbow on a rail at right) stand on either side of a short, deformed African American man who had been recently featured at P.T. Barnum's Museum on Broadway as the "What-is-it." (A poster for this attraction appears on the wall behind the men.) Greeley introduces the African man as the Republican presidential candidate and Lincoln hails the man as a member of the superior race and an appropriate nominee.
