"Metamorphosis" prints usually consist of folding flaps, each printed with part of a design and which, when opened sequentially, show several consecutive scenes. This example is an imaginary view of the hanging of Confederate president Jefferson Davis. (Davis was actually only imprisoned.) For another of the many popular portrayals of Davis's hanging, see "John Brown Exhibiting His Hangman" (no. 1865-16). In the first scene, Davis holds one hand to his chest and his other hand out, asking pardon. Next, Davis sits weeping on his coffin, a noose around his neck. In the final scene he hangs, his face hooded, from the gallows as crows (or vultures) fly overhead. |Title appears as it is written on the item.|Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F.

The second of two prints surrounding the scandalous trial of Methodist minister Ephraim K. Avery for the brutal murder of factory girl Sarah Maria Cornell. (See "A Very Bad Man," no. 1833-13). Contrary to Weitenkampf's suggestion that the print relates to Andrew Jackson, it is actually visionary portrayal of Avery transported to damnation by demons.Avery has departed the scene of his crime (left) where his victim, now expired, still hangs strangled from a post. Her shoes, kerchief, and a note reading "If I am missing enquire of the Revd. Mr..." lay nearby. As monsters fly overhead, Avery is rowed toward a shore at right where an inferno blazes and a man is boiled in a cauldron. Avery appears again in the upper right, being forcibly led toward a precipice.|Entered . . . 1833 by Robinson. |Published by Henry R. Robinson 52 Cortlandt St. N.Y.|The Library's impression of the print was deposited for copyright on August 14 1833, surprisingly long after Avery's acquittal on June 5.|Title appears as it is written on the item.|Weitenkampf, p. 32.|Forms part of: American cartoon print filing series (Library of Congress)|Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F.
