Item Description
5-5/8x9". 8 page pamphlet published by "Waller & Willetts" New York. "What Miscegenation Is! And What We Are To Expect Now That Mr. Lincoln Is Re-elected" w/graphic of a grotesque depiction of an African American man kissing a Caucasian women. Miscegenation was a term for race mixing created and popularized by Ohio Congressman Samuel Cox w/the help of David Goodman Croly, a New York newspaper editor at "The World" during Lincoln's 1864 Presidential campaign. "The World" pushed the made-up theory that Lincoln planned to create a new American race by encouraging inter-racial procreation. This pamphlet, published shortly after Lincoln's re-election, illustrates how deeply the hoax was believed during its era.Ink and pencil inscriptions on reverse w/notary stamp dated "Aug. 13, 1933." Obvious wear including short margin tears most notably a 1" horizontal tear along right edge that affects the two outer black frames. VG. These pamphlets are rarely offered in commerce and this is the first we have encountered in 51 years.
