Surrounding the two main
images are a number of smaller illustrations of war and slavery. Slaves in
the North are shown celebrating their freedom, while slaves in the South are
shown hiding in the woods. A Union Soldier on Picket duty is shown
standing tall and proud, well equipped and well fed. He has a nice
coat. A Southern Confederate Soldier is shown huddling against a tree,
cold and hungry, with a tattered coat. In the usual Nast style, there also
heavenly hosts watching over the affairs of the war, both angelic and
demonic.
We hope you enjoy this complete Gallery of
