EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Civil War: Cartoon, 1861. Consulting the Oracle" we are transported back to a crucial moment in American history. The image depicts President Abraham Lincoln seeking guidance from none other than Christopher Columbus himself. As Lincoln anxiously asks, "And, what next?". Columbus offers his sage advice with conviction and wisdom. His response, "First be sure you're right, then go ahead!" serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of thoughtful decision-making during times of conflict and uncertainty. The cartoon-like depiction adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise serious subject matter - the Civil War that tore America apart in 1861. Through clever personification and symbolism such as Columbia (representing America), an eagle (symbolizing freedom), and various references to the Constitution and amendments, this artwork captures the essence of that tumultuous era. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artifact for us to admire today. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but reflect on how far our nation has come since those challenging times. This print is not just a piece of art; it's a testament to resilience and progress.
