Rare Anti Buchanan Lithograph -  ...Ten Cents a Day?
This lithograph shows a campaign parody somewhat favorable to Republican candidate John C. Fremont, suggesting a conspiracy between Fremont and Millard Fillmore to defeat James Buchanan. Titled "Shall I Vote for Ten Cents a Day?", Buchanan's nickname "Ten Cent Jimmy" was a derisive label applied to him by labor interests. In the background, Buchanan can be seen addressing a working-class gathering. Published by I. Childs, scarce [Sight: 12" H x 18" W; Sheet: 14" H x 21 1/4" W]. Age-toning, minor water stains, and large tear in upper left corner with loss.
