This unsigned Harper's Weekly cartoon envisions the contrasting reactions in the White House (left) and the editorial office of the New York Tribune (right) to the vote on the eleventh article of impeachment. President Johnson celebrates the decision, while a shocked Horace Greeley, the Tribune's editor-in-chief, faints upon hearing what he considers to be horrific news. (harpweek, 1868)
