This card is a great piece of 19th century political ephemera, very similar to the "Salt River Tickets" we also have up for sale. It has a satirical cartoon/caricature that was used to sway opinion of the political parties or candidates. This one measures about 2 5/8" by 3 5/8" and pictures a giant boot kicking a man out of a doorway. The caption identifies the man as Stokley; William S. Stokley was mayor of Philadelphia from 1872 to 1881. According to an 1873 New York Times article, he was fighting to shut down gambling houses and "policy dealers." This has just a few light spots and the back has a glue spot from being pasted into a scrapbook.

See our list for more cards, Salt River tickets and other political ephemera! We will combine shipping for auctions that end the same day.
