| Description |
English: Political cartoon showing 1872 Liberal Republicans gathered around a mountain witnessing the birth of its candidate, a mouse labeled "H. G." (Horace Greeley, the candidate for president) with a tail labeled "Gratz Brown" (the vice-presidential candidate). The scene is apparently based on a quote from Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus). |

Caption:
“GREAT EXPECTATIONS.”
“A (Mud) Mountain was once greatly agitated. Loud Groans and Noises were heard; and crowds of People came from all Parts to see what was the Matter. After long expectation and many wise conjectures from the by-standers, out popped a — Mouse!”
Corresponding quote from Horace (Ars Poetica, c. 18 B.C., line 139):
