Related Names:
Baker, Joseph E., ca. 1837-1914.
Date Created/Published: [Boston : s.n.], 1864.
Summary: An impassioned attack on Abraham Lincoln and the human toll of the Union war effort. Columbia, wearing a liberty cap and a skirt made of an American flag, demands, 'Mr. Lincoln, give me back my 500,000 sons!!!' At the right, Lincoln, unfazed, sits at a writing desk, his leg thrown over the chair back. A proclamation calling for '500 Thous. More Troops,' signed by him, lies at his feet. He replies, 'Well the fact is--by the way that reminds me of a Story!!!' The artist refers to the false report published by the 'New York World' that Lincoln joked on the battlefield of Antietam. (See 'The Commander-in-Chief Conciliating the Soldier's Votes,' no. 1864-30.)
