Secession cartoon "The Secession Movement". This 9.5 inch by 7 inch photo of an 1861 political cartoon shows representatives of South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia headed for a cliff, chasing a butterfly named "Secession Humbug". The original cartoon was published by Currier and Ives, 132 Nassau St., N.Y. The back of this piece is stamped, "Review of Reviews/ 55 Fifth Avenue/ New York City," and "Library of Congress 1928" is written in pencil. The picture is curled inward; we photographed it under glass to show all the details. There is also some wear at the sides, and the lower right hand corner appears to have been reinforced at some point. Nevertheless, this is a nice example of early political cartooning and represents an important event in our nation's history that celebrates its 150th anniversary is this year.
