Related Names:
Lee & Walker.
Date Created/Published: Philadelphia : lee & Walker, 722 Chestnut St., 1865.
Summary: An illustrated sheet music cover for a comic song, published 'for the benefit of the Soldiers Home Fair, Milwaukee, Wis.' The cover is adorned with a caricature of an obese Britannia, seated and holding a trident and shield. Printed in almost monochromatic neutral tones, the oval-format illustration imitates classical medallions or reliefs. The work expresses the abiding Northern resentment over British support of the Confederate war effort.
Notes:
Signatures have evidently been obliterated, judging by the presence of scratching-out in the stone in the lower portion of the oval.
The Library's impression was deposited for copyright on June 28, 1865.
