1874 US Election Pres Grant Gov Shepherd Columbia Harper's Weekly Nast Print

Description

"Don't let us have any more of this nonsense. It is a good trait to stand by one's friend; but--"
(
Ulysses S. Grant,
Governor
Alexander Robey Shepherd, 1874 United States elections,
Political Cartoon, Thomas Nast, Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization)
Issued 1874, New York, by Harper & Brothers. Art by
Thomas Nast.
Original 19th century antique offset printed image. An actual printed leaf taken from this scarce old periodical, published at the date listed, and drawn by the famous American-German editorial cartoonist, Thomas Nast, Father of the American Cartoon.
This front page print depicts Columbia scolding President Ulysses S. Grant regarding District of Columbia Governor Alexander Robey Shepherd, seen skulking out a back door. Columbia points down at President Grant, telling him, "Don't let us have any more of this nonsense. It is a good trait to stand by one's friend; but--". The newspaper President Grant is reaching for reads "Shepherd Rejected by the Senate by an Overwhelming Majority. New District Gov. Washington D.C." Another newspaper reads, "Richardson as judge of claims."
A nice looking example of printed, ephemeral history with a pleasing age patina. Any minor age flaws are easy to forgive and add to its antique aesthetic. Text, images, and/or advertisements on reverse as issued. An elusive image, worthy of display. Provided photos show the front and back of the item, not two discrete prints.
Mounted and framed, this piece would make an excellent decoration for your home, restaurant, office, classroom, or any other space where people appreciate the vintage aesthetic of antique printed history.
Measures 16"H x 11"W
