Our political drama, conventions, campaigns, candidates
Joseph Bucklin Bishop's 1904 history of American presidential conventions and campaigns, published in New York by Scott-Thaw, reprints nineteenth-century political cartoons for general readers. Wood-engraved lithograph caricatures show candidates on horseback, in carts, and atop platforms, with hand-lettered speech scrolls, plus halftone crowd scenes outside capitol buildings; useful for figure silhouettes, speech-banner layouts, and period lettering.
