editI think you might have a tiger by the tail here. E.W. Clay seems to have been - in his own way - a fairly respectable cartoonist in his day.
But the "Life in Philadelphia" series casts him as a northern apologist for slavery.
You can upload some of the pictures in one of the links you gave or from the Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/pictures/related/?fi=name&q=Clay%2C%20Edward%20Williams%2C%201799-1857
Check him out by searching Google books
I'd probably write the article on E.W. Clay and then include the Life in Philadelphia as part of that. Frankly, it might be too difficult as your first article to write this without offending somebody, but you are welcome to try.
Leave a note on my talk page if I can help further. Smallbones (talk) 03:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
