Joseph E. Baker - The "rail splitter" at work repairing the union

Cartoon print shows Vice President Andrew Johnson sitting atop a globe, attempting to stitch together the map of the United States with needle and thread. Abraham Lincoln stands, right, using a split rail to position the globe. Johnson warns, "Take it quietly Uncle Abe and I will draw it closwer than ever." While Lincoln commends him, "A few more stitches Andy and the good old Union will be mended."
