Rare original antique engraving print from an 1860s illustrated journal. It depicts Congressmen and spectators entering the Senate Chambers to observe the impeachment trial of US President Andrew Johnson. Between the pictures is an article on the impeachment trial. Read what they wrote at the time!
The United States House of Representatives resolved to impeach Andrew Johnson (17th president of the United States) for "high crimes and misdemeanors". Johnson was the first American president to face impeachment on March 2–3, 1868, when the House formally adopted the articles of impeachment and forwarded them to the United States Senate for adjudication. The trial in the Senate began three days later. The Senate failed to convict Johnson on the articles, after which the trial was adjourned.
The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 15 inches (28 x 38 cm). The pictures fill most of it, measuring about 9 x 13 inches, with a caption below it.
The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
