About This Item
New York: Currier & Ives, 152 Nassau St., 1862. Broadside uncolored Lithograph, 11" x 16-1/4." Light margin foxing, Very Good plus.
"The artist ridicules the government's early efforts to overhaul and augment a somewhat outdated Union fleet in order to blockade Southern ports and effectively defend against Confederate privateers and blockade runners. Navy Secretary Gideon Welles of Connecticut is disparaged as two Union vessels- - essentially wooden washtubs armed with small cannons- - try to block the path of a sleek Confederate steamer, the Nashville."
The dialogue and cartooned characters express the satiric and humorous critiques common to the Currier broadsides of this period.
Reilly 1862-9. Weitenkampf 134. OCLC 84559518 [1- Hagley], 191119761 [2- Peabody Essex, Clements] as of November 2023.
