Title: Volunteering down Dixie
Related Names:
Ehrgott & Forbriger.
Date Created/Published: [Cincinnati : Ehrgott & Forbriger], 1861.
Summary: A satire on Southern recruitment efforts during the early part of the Civil War. In a scene before a Confederate encampment, a reluctant civilian (center) is presented with a musket and military coat by two veteran soldiers, one wearing an absurdly tall fur hat. The recruit is restrained from behind by another officer. In the background left a troop of recruits drill; on the right two blacks soldiers, one with rolled pantlegs and military coat, look on with amusement.
Notes:
Printed and copyrighted by Ehrgott & Forbriger, Cincinnati.
The Library's impression of the print was deposited for copyright on July 8, 1861, by the Cincinnati lithographic firm of Ehrgott & Forbriger. It is clearly by the same unidentified artist as two other prints by Ehrgott & Forbriger, 'Strayed' and 'Ye Conference' (nos. 1861-31 and 1861-32). Two additional prints, not owned by the Library but cited by Weitenkampf, are also listed in the copyright records as Ehrgott & Forbriger registrations. They are 'That Feed Won't Do' and ''Wait 'Till the War Is Over.'' The copyright imprint, which appears on an impression of 'Volunteering Down Dixie' cited by Weitenkampf, appears to have been rubbed or scraped from the Library's impression.
Title appears as it is written on the item.
