1860s Jefferson Davis & Co. Seeing The Uncle Sam Elephant Civil War Cover. Clever illustration of an elephant with "Uncle Sam" written on its back grabbing Jeff (Jefferson) Davis and titled "Let Me Alone". Produced by J.G. Wills, New York. Original and unused.
From a large recently acquired collection of patriotic Civil War Covers that we recently acquire.
Jefferson Davis was commonly referred to as "Jeff Davis" during the Civil War as a shortened, familiar, and sometimes derogatory nickname. While he disliked the nickname personally, it was used by both supporters and detractors to refer to the President of the Confederate States of America.
