Description
This drawing is a political cartoon depicting a large portrait of President Abraham Lincoln with a pensive look and rubbing his chin with one hand as he peers out of the corner of his eye to look upon the globe with large cracks below. Next to Lincoln is written his nickname, "Honest Abe." The globe is surrounded by hovering clouds and has a banner taped onto the globe that reads, "Credibility Gaps." The artist has signed the drawing in the lower right corner along with the year. The title is written in blue pencil in the top margin.
