This satirical design mocks Confederate president Jefferson Davis and the effectiveness of the Confederate Navy. Such envelopes were widely produced in the North during the Civil War and are now highly collectible examples of period political propaganda. The original envelope front has been professionally framed with a double mat and displays very well. Authentic Civil War illustrated envelope. Original 19th-century paper and ink.
Framed and ready to display. Light toning and age wear consistent with period.
No major tears or losses. A strong piece of American Civil War political and postal history.
