The newspapers relentlessly lampooned Lincoln for slipping through Baltimore in the dead of night. [[Adalbert J. Volck]], a Baltimore dentist and caricaturist, was inspired to pen his famous satirical etching, "Passage Through Baltimore." Volck's image of a startled Lincoln in his nightshirt peering out of the side of his rail car as it passes through Baltimore has become part of the Lincoln iconography. 

"In the nineteenth century, when pictures were less co
nmmon and more prized, the scotch-cap symbol remained a prop in Confederate graphics, and some Northern-made prints as well, for years - the reminder of Lincoln (sic) fleeing in disguise an automatic accusation of his supposed lack of character."<ref>Holzer, pg.118</ref>
