Summary: A caricature of Horace Greeley, commenting upon (or perhaps anticipating) his disappearance from public life after his defeat in the November 5 presidential election. Journalist Henry Morton Stanley, famous for finding David Livingstone in East Africa in 1871, here discovers Horace Greeley in a jungle. Stanley holds a rifle and is accompanied by an African youth guiding a dog. Greeley is shown embracing a pig, with a copy of the New York 'Tribune' at his side. In a tree behind him a monkey plays with Greeley's trademark white hat, while another reaches for a coconut. The U.S. Capitol shines brightly in the distance. Below the image are the wistful lines: 'O! Had We Some Bright Little Isle Of Our Own / In Blue Summer Ocean Far Off And Alone.' Shortly before he lost the presidential election Greeley's wife died, and shortly afterward he lost control of his newspaper and died insane.
