1865 CIVIL WAR Poster Propaganda Against Deserters Jeff Subdued Rampant Soldier

Description: ~~Original authentic Civil War poster!~~ Jeff Rampant & Jeff Subdued (Jeff refers to Jefferson Davis) Propaganda piece against deserters during the Civil War. The poster reads both ways--you can flip it upside down and the image changes from a Donkey to a Soldier. The donkey represents peace time, and the Soldier; wartime. Published by Golden & Sammons of Chicago, and it is attached on top of a thick blue paper with "Rudolph Herold, Jr. 'General Agent Pacific Coast Department, San Francisco, Cal." Printed across the bottom edge--this paper is not original to the lithograph, most likely added to help prevent further deterioration, wear or damage. This original print has seen better days; it has chipping, tears and folds around edges and the color is darkened with spotting and staining. It is still legible, and it will still look great in any collection. Very scarce piece that rarely comes up for sale. According to the Library of Congress, this is a hand colored lithograph, printed in 1865, but Notre Dame University gives the date 1861/2. Outside of the government and a few universities there are no other copies. It is a very rare piece. Do not miss your chance to own this one!
