Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Pub. at the Office of Yankee Notions, 1852.
Summary: The presidential aspirations of Whig general Winfield Scott during the 1852 election are again belittled. Scott, in a tattered uniform and supporting himself on a crutch, extends his feathered cap toward the figure of Columbia or Liberty, who stands in the doorway of the 'Capitol' holding a liberty cap and staff. Liberty asks Brother Jonathan, who is seated on a small mound beside the doorway, 'Jonathan? what does that old fellow want.' Jonathan replies, pointing toward Scott, 'He's come for his Ticket for--Soup!!' In the background at left is the White House, which has been relabeled 'Soup House.' (For the origin of the soup joke, see 'Distinguished Military Operations with a Hasty Bowl of Soup, 'no. 1846-15.)
