Object Details

The scene illustrated here took place in the Capitol just days after the House voted to impeach President Andrew Johnson. Here, the impeachment managers—including de facto Republican floor leader Thaddeus Stevens, standing at one end of the table, and Judiciary Committee Chairman James Wilson—are shown meeting to compile their articles of impeachment. The print was published shortly before the Senate trial began.
