Text on verso as issued.The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting satirical image.Please note-this is a single sheet only, offered for the great visual appeal for framing or collecting.Any minor defects along the sheet edges and in the margins may be seen in the photos.Sheet measures c. 9 7/8" W x 13 1/4" H.Printed area measures c. 8 3/8" W x 7 1/2" H.[60737](Greek Mythology, Mulligan Letters, Poor Record, Scandals, Repeated Presidential Campaign)Everything we offer is guaranteed to be an authentic original antique item as described.We stand behind everything we sell.**Important information for International Buyers**You may be charged customs, taxes or other import duties by your country! [this has nothing at all to do with us. Please do not hold us responsible if your Government wants to collect tax when you buy something outside of your country].Import duties, taxes, and customs fees are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are normally collected by the shipping service when the package is delivered or when you pick the item up. They are the buyer's responsibility and are not additional shipping charges. [Please understand they have nothing to do with us and we have no control over them].Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. [We do not know the various rules of your Customs office. There are a lot of countries in the world, most with complex detailed variable laws in languages we don't read. Plus these laws are constantly being changed & revised].We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing so is against US and International law! Please don't ask. Any requests to do this will be ignored. All orders are labeled as merchandise and described as a printed old/ antique paper item. [again, please do not ask us to mis-represent International mail parcels].First Class Mail is the least expensive shipping option available and as such is the slowest. In addition to this we have seen longer delays in customs in recent months-- it can take as much as 6-8 weeks to arrive .Please be patient once we ship Internationally--your package will arrive, but it may take time. You can't be in a rush to receive an item if you live outside the U.S.A. International mail is efficient & 99.9% accurate, but it is not typically fast .If you would prefer to upgrade your shipping to faster Priority options we are happy to send you an invoice. Our experience tells us Priority International post is often slower than First Class. It's backwards, yes, and typically only makes sense if the parcel has value exceeding a certain level or extra security is desired. (it has nothing to do with us- it's just how the post offices treat parcels).World Wide Flat Rate Shipping-US Domestic Shipping- First Class mail-- $2.95 for first item + $1 each item after. Priority available starting at $4.95 first item, then typically $1 each therafter (unless heavy or huge).Shipping to Canada - First Class mail-- $9.95 for first item + $3 for each item after. (so shipping 3 prints = $15.95, 10 prints =$36.95, etc.)All other International Shipping- $9.95 for first item + $3 for each item after for First Class mail.
