Description

Jefferson Davis as a carpetbagger with a bag labeled ""J.D."" speaks to John Bull (a Civil War era caricature representing England) who is holding a dog on a leash. A figure in a top hat and tail coat sits above them on a rail fence with paper in his hands. Image captioned: J.D.-Please let me bring my prizes on to your premises, Mr. Bull. Those rascally yankees are right before my own door, so that I can't get in. J.B.-No, sir, you can't come in. I should like to buy your cotton; but you can't come in with your prizes. Yankee Doodle-Bring em' up our way, Jeff; we'll take care of 'em. Along the left side of the image is printed ""New York Union Envelope Depot, No. 144 Broadway.""
