Summary

Description
English: Colorized political cartoon of King Cotton pubished in 1861. Information and copy of original is cited here (19 Dec 2017 archive here)

Text beneath image in original says:

Old England is mighty; Old England is free;
She boasts that she ruleth the waves of the sea; (But between you and I, that's all fiddle-de-dee;)
She cannot, O Cotton! she cannot rule thee.
Lo! Manchester's lordling thy greatness shall own, and yield more to thee than he would to the Throne;
For before thee shall bend his fat marrow-bone, and deaf be his ear to the live chattel's groan.
