Union broadside “The Secessioinist” 1p. 7-1/4”x9-1/4”, handcolored, with text “You ar the man who chuckles when the news/ Comes o’er the wires, and tells of sad disaster:/ Pirates on sea succeeding - burning ships and crews,/ Rebels on land marauding, thicker, aye, and faster,/ You are the two-faced villain, though not very bold,/ Who would barter your country for might or for gold.” With man at center holding a note “Jeff Davis Richmond Va. Plans.” with soldier behind him, and being passed $300 worth of treasury notes by the man to his left. VG. A wonderful Civil War ‘Penny Dreadful’ or ‘Vinegar’ valentine.
