George Washington & Cannon Patriotic Civil War Cover – "God and the Right" Union Patriotic Envelope
Unused patriotic Civil War cover depicting George Washington standing beside a field cannon with the patriotic inscription, "As was of yore—'God and the Right.'" A handsome Revolutionary-themed design reminding Americans that the struggle to preserve the Union followed the example set by Washington and the nation's founders. A particularly attractive Washington design. The dramatic smoke and oversized cannon give it much stronger visual appeal than the typical Washington portrait cover. Original.
From the large collection of original Civil War patriotic covers that we recently acquired.
George Washington remained the foremost symbol of national unity during the Civil War. Patriotic envelopes frequently portrayed him alongside military imagery to remind Northerners that preserving the Union fulfilled the ideals established during the American Revolution and the nation's founding.
