Item Description
13.5x18". Publshed by Currier & Ives in 1865. Text at bottom reads "The Last Ditch Of The Chivalry, Or A President In Petticoats". Features Union soldiers laughing as they chase down and capture Jefferson Davis, who is adorned in women's clothing. The fleeing Davis yells back to the Union soldiers "Let me alone you blood thirsty villains-I thought your government more magnanimous than to hunt down women and children!" An exaggerated re-telling of Davis' May 10, 1865 capture, in which he was apprehended in Irwinville, Georgia, while wearing his wife's overcoat. Moderate edge wear, most notably a diagonal tear along the left edge and a few small tears on right edge. Some moisture stains along edges. Fine. Will frame above grade.
