"Commentators" in the cartoon
editMy casual impression is that the man sitting cranking the music box is John Quincy Adams and the man walking in from the left is John C. Calhoun, with Henry Clay standing on the right of course. Some expert please look into this and improve the caption if I am correct. Thanks. CountMacula (talk) 08:15, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
