"Lincoln in Caricature" by Rufus Rockwell Wilson is a historical collection published for private distribution in the early 20th century. The book captures the life and presidency of Abraham Lincoln through the lens of contemporary caricatures and political cartoons that flourished during the Civil War era. It highlights how Lincoln was depicted in popular media, serving as an insightful exploration of the public perception of his character and policies amidst the tumult of his time. The content of the book consists of thirty-two illustrated plates featuring a selection of cartoons from notable publications such as "Harper's Weekly", "Punch", and "Vanity Fair". Each cartoon serves as a commentary on significant events and sentiments surrounding Lincoln's presidency, including his election, the Civil War, and the Emancipation Proclamation. Wilson arranges these illustrations in chronological order, providing context and commentary that add depth to the understanding of Lincoln’s image during a period of national crisis and change. The collection not only reflects the political landscape of the time but also offers a poignant portrayal of Lincoln as both a revered leader and a subject of ridicule.
