This image is an engraving from "Harper's Weekly," dated November 2, 1867. It depicts a somber nighttime scene at a graveyard. Two men, one kneeling and one standing, appear to be tampering with a tombstone. The headstone prominently reads, "Killed in the War of the Union."

Above the scene, two phrases written in arching bands frame the image: "A curse upon you for making me appear disloyal" on the left, and "To my country for which I have fought and died" on the right.

This engraving likely makes a political statement about dishonoring soldiers who died in the Civil War by partly referencing the then-contentious political atmosphere surrounding the readmission of Confederate states into the Union and the treatment of Black Americans and veterans post-war. The title of the artwork, "How the Copperheads Obtain Their Votes," suggests it comments on the Copperheads, a faction of Northern Democrats who opposed the Civil War and advocated for immediate peace with the Confederates. The image implies that their methods of gaining political support were underhanded, likening it to desecrating soldiers' graves and manipulating their loyalty.

This is a vintage illustration presented in a monochromatic style. The image depicts a nighttime scene in a graveyard. Two figures, presumably male, are engaged in a secretive activity. One is crouched, working on the ground, while the other stands watch. The attentive figure holds a hat and a shovel, suggesting they may be involved in grave-digging or a similar clandestine task.

In the background, ghostly apparitions can be seen. One apparition is pointing accusingly towards the figures, illuminating their activity with an ethereal glow, thus indicating a sense of moral transgression or judgment being passed from the afterlife. There are monuments and tombstones scattered throughout the graveyard, with words inscribed on them referring to the American Civil War, such as "KILLED IN THE WAR FOR UNION 1861-1865" and another partly visible one ending with "18.. UNION."

Framing the top of the image is a curved text within an arch, which reads: "A CURSE UPON THE TRAITORS TO MY COUNTRY", indicating a strong thematic element of betrayal or disloyalty.

The bottom caption of the illustration reads "HOW THE COPPERHEADS OBTAIN THEIR VOTES.—[See First Page]", which suggests a political context related to the Copperheads, a faction of Northern Democrats who opposed the Civil War and wanted an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates.

Finally, the image is signed by "W. Nast", which is likely the signature of Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist of the 19th century known for his impactful and sometimes controversial illustrations.

The overall atmosphere is somber and haunting, with a strong undercurrent of political commentary.

This is a historical illustration titled "How the Copperheads Obtain Their Votes" from Harper's Weekly. The image shows a nighttime cemetery scene with two figures in dark coats examining or writing on a gravestone or monument. The scene appears quite ominous, with bare trees in the background and a rising or setting moon visible on the horizon. The artwork appears to be a political commentary or satire, likely from the American Civil War era. The term "Copperheads" referred to Northern Democrats who opposed the Civil War and advocated for peace with the Confederacy. The image suggests these individuals were engaging in voter fraud by using names from gravestones, implying they were recording votes from deceased persons.
