Civil War Patriotic Cover SOUTH vs NORTH Satirical Bird Design “Don’t You Wish You May Get It?”

Civil War patriotic envelope featuring a humorous engraved cartoon of an oversized bird labeled SOUTH stretching its neck toward a much smaller NORTH bird near the U.S. Capitol dome. Caption reads: “Don’t you wish you may get it?” A clever wartime satire reflecting Confederate ambition and Northern resistance. Unused example with strong contrast and wide margins. An appealing and unusual political cartoon design from the American Civil War era.

Unused and original. 

From a large collection of very fine Civil War covers and memorabilia we recently acquired.
