Description: Cartoon satirizing the Alaska purchase of 1867. Secretary of State William Seward rubs cooling salve (Alaska) on the feverish (and embattled) president, Andrew Johnson. In the background, "the advantages" are dominion over the Eskimos, and in the poster, Uncle Sam is chased by polar bears.
