Description

A southern gentleman in a suit and straw hat faces off against a distinguished gentleman in a top hat and frock coat in the foreground. They are facing each other such that only their profiles are visible. The southern man holds a revolver in his right hand and a cat-o'-nine-tails under his arm. There is another southern gentleman shown walking away from the view, also holding a whip, and striding down a row of slaves. A tall palm tree with a cotton bale at it's base and a Confederate National Flag with six stars are to the left of the whole scene. Image captioned: A New Way to pay Old Debts, as practiced by the ""Southern Chivalry."" Printed in red along the left edge of the envelope is, ""D. Murphy's Son, Print. 65 Fulton & 372 PEarl Ste.
