Summary

Description
English: Cartoon print shows Vice President Andrew Johnson sitting atop a globe, attempting to stitch together the map of the United States with needle and thread. Abraham Lincoln stands, right, using a split rail to position the globe. Johnson, a former tailor, warns, "Take it quietly Uncle Abe and I will draw it closwer than ever." While Lincoln, the former rail-splitter, commends him, "A few more stitches Andy and the good old Union will be mended."

Unedited version of original LoC file, downsized to meet upload parameters.

Revision a in stepwise tutorial: original file has been rotated and cropped. Original was hand-drawn and slightly nonparallel, so bottom caption has been copied onto another file, rotated separately, and copied and pasted back. This operation didn't quite achieve an even effect and was repeated later in the restoration work.
