Thanks for adding me to the ping list. This provides a real history lesson. I was struck by both the humor about love being portrayed as a child and the picture of Lincoln balancing on a high wire.

My wife and I took an Abraham Lincoln tour last September in Springfield Illinois and the strongest impression I carried with me was the political cartoons that blasted Lincoln for just about everything he did. So is the media today really that much different?

To John M. Read, Springfield, 27 August 1860

The miniature portrait of Hon. A. Lincoln, just painted by Mr. J.H. Brown, is strikingly faithful and correct. It is, in my opinion, as perfect a likeness of him as could be made.
