Published by PUNCH, May 24,, 1862, single sheet, printed one side, 8-1/4 x 10-3/4” is striking print titled “THE NEW ORLEANS PLUM”. The artist borrowing from an old nursery tale, shows Lincoln seated in a corner and plucking a plum from the generous pudding in his lap. Possibly for fear that his caricature might not be perfectly clear to the British mind he appended to it these informing words: “Big Lincoln Horner, Up in a corner, Thinking of humble pie, Found under his thumb, A New Orleans plum, And said ‘What a cute Yankee am I.’
