Unpublished Harvard Lampoon cover page, January 21, 1887.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/228510917

Unpublished cover page for the January 21, 1887 edition of the Harvard Lampoon, Vol. 13, No. 8. The cartoon features President Charles William Eliot standing next to the Lampoon jester with a caption reading "Bon Voyage," a reference to the vacation President Eliot took to Europe in the spring semester of 1887. A handwritten note at the bottom of the page reads, "Front page of Lampoon suppressed by order of Faculty." The Faculty ordered the Lampoon to cease publishing caricatures of faculty after a series of these drawings appeared in the early issues of the Lampoon.
