TAYLOR, C. W.

The Imaginary Conversations of "His Excellency" and Dan. Silhouette illustrations by F.H. Blair. Square 12mo, stiff pictorial wrappers, stapled, several small chips along spine. Boston: Cupples and Hurd, 1889 FIRST EDITION. A series of political cartoons featuring Grover Cleveland and his colored manservant Dan. Cleveland, concerned with the campaign against Harrison and Blaine, asks advice of Dan whose replies are always filled with double meaning and humor. Not a stereotypical picture of Dan, but rather the opposite, with Cleveland as the fool.
