C. , during a time when tensions ran high, this image invites contemplation on political power struggles and their consequences. It reminds us that no one is above reproach or immune from facing repercussions for their actions – not even a U. S. president. Preserved meticulously over time, this remarkable relic from Harper's Weekly continues to serve as a reminder of our nation's commitment to justice and democracy.
