Something went wrong!
Hang in there while we get back on track
The knight of the wheelbarrow!!
1835
"The recto is almost completely filled with a large caricature of 'Captain Pollywog.' Captain Pollywog was Dudley S. Palmer, the editor of The Courier, or 'The Courier of Iniquity,' as The Transcript calls it. He served as New Hampshire's Secretary of State in 1830, having deserted the Jacksonian party to win election as a Federalist. Hence the almost incredible vituperation which The Transcript pours upon his head." --Early American book illustrators and wood engravers, 1670-1870
