Original 1865 Harper's Weekly Thomas Nast Cartoon Editorial General Butler

Description

A clipping of a Thomas Nast cartoon editorial that was in an edition of Harper's Weekly Magazine in circa 1865.    Union General Benjamin Butler is seen knocking at the door of Jefferson Davis, probably in reference to the fact that it was thought that he would be the prosecutor of Davis after the end of the war.  Davis is behind bars.
This clipping is part of a set of clippings, all of Thomas Nast cartoon editorials featuring content from the Civil War, that I am currently offering for sale.
The caption reads:
JEFF DAVIS. “Is dat you, BUTLER? is dat you?
Is dat you knockin' at my door?”
Thomas Nast was a German-born American caricaturist and editorial cartoonist often considered to be the "Father of the American Cartoon". He was a critic of Democratic Representative "Boss" Tweed and the Tammany Hall Democratic party political machine. Among his notable works were the creation of the modern version of Santa Claus (based on the traditional German figures of Sankt Nikolaus and Weihnachtsmann) and the political symbol of the elephant for the Republican Party (GOP). Contrary to popular belief, Nast did not create Uncle Sam (the male personification of the United States Federal Government), Columbia (the female personification of American values), or the Democratic donkey, though he popularized those symbols by his artwork. Nast was associated with the magazine Harper's Weekly from 1859 to 1860 and from 1862 until 1886.
Measures about 5 x 5 inches.
