Civil War Patriotic Cover – George Washington "The Father of Our Country". Beautiful two-color Civil War patriotic cover featuring an oval portrait of George Washington surrounded by crossed American flags, military equipment, cannon, drum and eagle above the caption "The Father of our Country." A classic patriotic tribute linking Washington's legacy with the preservation of the Union. Unused and original.
From the huge collection of Civil War historical covers in very fine condition that we recently acquired.
George Washington remained the most universally admired American during the Civil War. Both North and South claimed to honor his legacy, but Union publishers frequently invoked Washington as the symbol of preserving the nation he helped establish. Patriotic covers featuring his portrait were among the era's most enduring designs.
