Additional Details

Not what it appears to be. The notes on verso suggest that this is an elaborate satire on a contentious school board election in rural North McGregor, Clayton County, Iowa. If you would rather believe that it relates to the fall of Boss Tweed in Manhattan, you have our permission. It presents a striking appearance either way, and no other copies have been traced.
