Description
Two men in shirtsleeves lower a caricaturization of Jefferson Davis over a cliff on a rope. Below him is a bird nest with two baby bald eagles and a third in flight. A large, adult, bald eagle clutching an American flag is swooping in and grabs Davis's pants in his beak. Image captioned: Jeff Davis surprised in his attempt to rob the American Eagle's nest. Along the left edge of the envelope is printed: D. Murphy's Son, Print, 65 Fulton & 372 Pearl Ste. N.Y.
