Civil War Patriotic Cover Mocking Jefferson Davis – "How About Washington? ... Let Me Alone!". Humorous Union patriotic cover depicting Confederate President Jefferson Davis with two dramatically different expressions—confident on one side and worried on the other—accompanied by the captions "How about Washington?" and "Let me alone!" The clever political caricature ridicules Confederate hopes of capturing the Union capital before reversing into reluctant resignation. A wonderful example of Civil War political humor. Unused and Original.
Many Northern envelopes ridiculed Confederate leaders through satire rather than military scenes. This design reflects the widespread belief that Jefferson Davis dreamed of taking Washington early in the war, only to find the city too heavily defended.
