Civil War Patriotic Cover "Spirit of the North" Female Figure with Flag. Colorfully printed Civil War patriotic cover featuring a striking female allegorical figure carrying the American flag and a blade beneath the caption, "When thus our hosts go proudly forth, Let foes beware the Spirit of the North!". An attractive multicolor design that combines patriotic symbolism with martial imagery. A particularly eye-catching example by Brown & Ryan 1861. Unused and original.
Published by Brown & Ryan of Philadelphia and copyrighted in 1861, this striking design depicts a female allegorical figure advancing beneath a large American flag. The image likely represents the "Spirit of the North" referenced in the accompanying verse, a symbolic embodiment of Union determination at the outset of the Civil War.
On the reverse flap it reads: Entered according to Act of Congress, 1861, by Brown & Ryan, in the Clerk's Office of the Southern District of New York."
