Dead Presidents #48


Detail view of pictorial envelope denouncing former President James Buchanan. The text reads:

He was elected President by fraud and trickery! Under his administration that Treasury was robbed! Duplicity and cowardice marked his career! finally, he sold his country to a band of Southern conspirators, and now lives to be pointed at with the finger of scorn, by all true men! and will go down to his grave unlamented.

(1861)
