EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a comical and satirical moment from American history during the Civil War. This 19th-century lithograph, published by J. Mayer & Co. Lith in Boston around 1865, depicts an amusing scene involving Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy. In this print, Davis is shown attempting to escape in female attire but hilariously tripping over a sign that reads "Last Ditch". Three Union soldiers and an African American man are seen gleefully cavorting nearby. The image playfully mocks Davis's desperate attempt to evade capture and symbolizes the triumph of the Union forces over their Confederate adversaries. The lithograph offers insight into both political and social dynamics of the time. It highlights themes such as disguise, cross-dressing, military strategy, and racial attitudes prevalent during the Civil War era in America. Measuring 32x49 cm and housed at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this historical artwork provides a glimpse into one aspect of American history through its clever use of caricature and satire. This image serves as a reminder of how art can be used to convey complex ideas with humor while shedding light on significant events that have shaped our nation's past.
