Harper's Weekly political cartoon engraving from the April 2, 1881 issue, presented as a full-page black and white printed illustration with strong period satire and allegorical figural imagery. The sheet shows the publication masthead and date at top, with a detailed central composition and printed caption below, making it appealing for collectors of 19th century American illustrated journalism, political commentary, and historical prints. The work appears to be an original page removed from the publication rather than a later reproduction, with visible text on the reverse showing through the paper and a narrow printed border framing the image. It is housed in a protective sleeve and bears a handwritten notation identifying it as a political cartoon engraving dated 1881. Size: approximately 15" H.
