The providential detection
Available here is a sampling of the caricatures, satires, and political cartoons produced in the United States between 1764 and 1876 that are held at the American Antiquarian Society. The political cartoons depict everything, including very early cartoons relating to the establishment and operation of the federal government, slanderous depictions of local politicians and national leaders, Civil War era images, and negative depictions of social reformers and military leaders.
