Civil War Patriotic Cover “Longing for the WHITE House” Political Satire Envelope
Original Civil War era patriotic cover printed in red ink featuring a standing figure gazing toward the White House in the distance. Caption reads: “Longing for the WHITE House.” A clever political satire likely referencing presidential ambition during the war years. Attractive and unusual design with clean printing and excellent display appeal. Unused example.
Unused example.
From a large collection of very fine Civil War covers and memorabilia we recently acquired.
Political patriotic covers often mocked politicians, generals, or Southern leaders rumored to desire power in Washington. Such humor was popular with Northern printers and civilians.
