In this lithograph, Lincoln's foot rests on a bound copy of the Constitution and the devil's inkpot furnishes ink for his writing. On the wall hangs a portrait of John Brown, labeled "St. Ossawotomie," and a depiction of rioting and bloodshed in "St. Domingo" following the abolition of slavery there.
