General George B. McClellan, a prominent figure in the American Civil War, is captured through various artistic depictions and photographs from the 1860s. In an intriguing photograph taken by an unknown creator in 1862, General McClellan stands tall and confident, his gaze fixed on the future of his troops. Known affectionately as "Little Mac, " he showcases his great two-horse act during the presidential canvass of 1864 in another captivating image captured by John L Magee. In contrast to these heroic portrayals, political cartoons like "Chicago Nominee" mockingly depict General McClellan's failed bid for presidency with lines from Shakespeare's Hamlet: "I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest. . Where be your gibes now. . " The satirical cartoon titled "A Little Game of Bagatelle" further ridicules Copperheads who idolize their leader. Amidst all this political turmoil, we catch a glimpse of General McClellan's determination as he tries to dig his way to the White House but is frightened by spiritual matters in yet another anonymous creation. The Chicago Platform becomes a subject of debate - peace or war? Anon artistically questions its true intentions. Moving away from politics and into battle scenes, we witness General McClellan at Head Quarters in Harrison's Landing where strategic decisions were made during the war. Alexander Gardner captures a serene scene in Pleasant Valley, Maryland while John L Magee immortalizes General McClellan at the Battle of Antietam through chromolithography. Engravings and lithographs also bring us back to specific battles such as Williamsburg where General McClellan led his troops valiantly against Confederate forces. These images serve not only as historical records but also remind us of General George B. McClellan's significant role during one of America's most tumultuous periods.
