EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph from 1865 captures a whimsical yet powerful representation of the Civil War era. Titled "The Question Settled" the image features a white cat labeled Old Abe, symbolizing President Abraham Lincoln, kicking out a grey cat labeled Jeff Davis, representing Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The scene is filled with symbolism as Old Abe stands tall and determined, asserting his authority over the defeated Confederacy. Behind Old Abe stands a black cat labeled Contraband, representing the thousands of enslaved African Americans who sought refuge and freedom within Union lines during the war. This inclusion highlights the significance of emancipation and showcases Lincoln's role in ending slavery. The artist skillfully uses caricature to convey political messages through this charming portrayal. The contrast between the white and grey cats emphasizes the divide between North and South while also depicting Lincoln's victory over secessionist forces. This lithograph serves as both an artistic expression and historical document that encapsulates America's struggle for unity during one of its most tumultuous periods. It evokes feelings of patriotism by showcasing Lincoln's leadership in preserving the Union while addressing issues such as slavery. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into our nation's past through captivating imagery that continues to resonate today.
