One print of Abraham Lincoln for the magazine, Punch. Reverse side contains print of a male and female overseer with a Black enslaved child. The child's face is not shown but does appear to be pleading to the man. The woman is wearing stripes with a whip in one hand and raising her other fist. The man wears a shirt with stars. Standing together they appear like the American flag.
