- Notes
- At left, Jefferson Davis (holding cat-o-nine tails and chains) stands behind Horace Greeley. Greeley appeals to two African American men (one finely dressed, one in work clothes) for their vote: "Of course Sam and Ceasar, you'll vote for me your old friend Horace Greeley?" One of the African American men tells Greeley, "No Mr. Greeley, we can't vote for you, for behind you we see Jeff Davis and behind him is the old lash and bondage." The other man explains, "We vote as all true hearted colored men will vote; for Mr. Lincoln's friend General Grant, who conquered the rebellion & secured our freedom."
- "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1872 by Currier & Ives in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington."
