Portrait of Lewis Cass (1782-1866): A Prominent Figure in American History as Soldier, Statesman, and Historian. This engraving captures the image of Cass, a candidate for the American Presidency in the late 1840s, showcasing his military background as a General in the US Army. However, his political career was marked by controversy, particularly over the issue of slavery and the expansion of the United States. The Political Guillotine illustration of 1850 depicts Cass's political demise, yet his legacy as a significant figure in American history endures.
