EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 1860 cartoon print, we witness an intense political scene unfold as President-elect Abraham Lincoln engages in a crucial discussion. The image captures the moment when New York political boss Thurlow Weed passionately advocates on behalf of Senator William Seward, while a visibly disturbed Horace Greeley eavesdrops from outside the door. Lincoln, portrayed as a thoughtful and attentive man, sits at his desk with an air of authority. His expression suggests that he is carefully considering Weed's arguments regarding Seward's candidacy for an important position within his administration. Meanwhile, Weed stands to Lincoln's left, leaning forward earnestly as he presents his case. Outside the room, Greeley - known for being an influential editor and employer - cannot resist the temptation to listen in on this pivotal conversation. His troubled countenance hints at his apprehension about what might transpire behind closed doors. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the intricate web of American politics during this critical period in history. It showcases how various figures wielded their influence and vied for power within Lincoln's Republican Party. As viewers, we are left pondering the weighty decisions that lay before President-elect Lincoln and how they would shape not only his presidency but also America itself during these tumultuous times.
