| Title: | This Modern Blondin Leaves but One Impression Upon the Mind of Every Calm Spectator: How Easily We Circumvent Secession Must Now Clearly be Seen by this Arch-traitor. |
| Description: | A man walks a tightrope heading toward the side with the capitol building, a soldier, and the Union flag. Behind him a man is poised to cut the tightrope with an ax. The words "Copyright secured by Brown & Ryan, New York." appear to the left of the illustration. Charles Blondin (Jean François Gravelet) was a French tight-rope walker and acrobat who was well known in the United States, especially for his multiple tight-rope walks over Niagara Falls. |
