Lot Description

Printed broadside, 15 x 19.25 in. Richmond Enquirer, printer. With Mourning borders. n.d. (WorldCat identifies it as April 1865.) A satirical poster on the demise of the Confederacy and Davis:

Lamentarium Funus! (A Sad Funeral)

How Have the Mighty Fallen!

If ye have tears, prepare to shed them now, because JEFF hath gone to his long home, and the mourners skedaddle about the streets. The Beauty and Pride of the Confederacy hath perish in the "Last Ditch." Tell it not in Pelham! Publish it not in the Hub, lest the Daughters of the Uncircumcised rejoice, lest the whelps of the Yankees triumph...PS No. 2. Owing to the scarcity of coin, J.D.'s eyes remain unclosed. P.S. No. 3. Gen. Wigfall with a Corporal's guard will form the "Hab-his-kark-cuss" for the occasion. N.B. For further particulars see small Bills.

With additional references to events of the war.

Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co.

Condition

Light toning and foxing.
