Civil War Satirical Cover Rebel Army “Flowers” Seven-League Boots Cartoon.
Civil War satirical patriotic envelope showing a lanky Confederate soldier wearing exaggerated oversized seven-league boots. Caption reads: “One of the ‘Flowers’ of the Rebel Army, provided with a pair of seven-league boots.” Humorous anti-Confederate caricature suggesting retreat or rapid flight. Clever wartime design with excellent collector appeal.. Unused original.
“From a newly acquired collection of original Civil War patriotic covers.”
“Seven-league boots” come from folklore and symbolized covering great distances quickly. On patriotic covers, the joke implied Rebels fleeing the battlefield.
