Description
This newspaper page from Harper's Weekly, dated November 26, 1864, features several classified advertisements for products and services. A large cartoon of President Abraham Lincoln fills the top left corner. Lincoln's height is exaggerated as he stands facing the viewer, holding a newspaper in one hand, the other tucked inside his coat. The text underneath reads "Long Abraham Lincoln a Little Longer" which refers to Lincoln winning the November 8, 1864, election for a second term as president.
