Related Names:
Stauch, Edward, b. ca. 1830.
Date Created/Published: 1861.
Summary: Northern fears of European intervention in the Civil War on behalf of the South are manifest here.Uncle Sam, in the form of a bearded Union soldier (closely resembling Abraham Lincoln), unceremoniously routs John Bull from a fenced garden where the latter has been poaching. Grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, Sam warns, 'John, You lost your Non-interfering Principle. I'll lay it on your back again.' The American wields a large stick 'Principle of Non Enterference.' John Bull has a handful of cotton plants, more of which appear at right, and wears 'Armstrong's Patent' cannon on his legs. (The term refers to a type of English-made gun used by the Confederates.) The artist has hidden several Negro faces in his drawings of cotton plants here. A cock with the head of French leader Napoleon III watches from his perch on the fence at left. At right stands a large scarecrow from whose arms hang the lifeless bodies of Confederate general P. G. T. Beauregard and Confederate president Jefferson Davis. A plaque on the scarecrow reads, 'All Persons Tresspassing These Premisses, will be punished according to Law.'
