"Abraham Lincoln and the London Punch" by William S. Walsh is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book compiles and analyzes the caricatures, comments, and poems from the British satirical magazine, "Punch", during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War (1861-1865). It likely explores the British perspective on the American conflict, illustrating how the British press, particularly "Punch", both criticized and ridiculed American political figures, notably President Abraham Lincoln. In the book, Walsh presents various cartoons and poems that reflect "Punch"'s commentary on the Civil War and its major characters. The narratives revolve around themes of secession, slavery, and the contrasting political sentiments in America during the war. The collection not only documents the evolving British public opinion towards both the North and the South but also sheds light on the general perception of Lincoln and his policies. Through cartoons and satirical prose, Walsh illustrates how "Punch" navigated the complexities of international relations and civil strife, ultimately portraying Lincoln as a significant, albeit flawed, figure in the struggle for unity and freedom in the United States.
