10c Rose Lithograph (Shades) continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
709 c Image10c Rose (5). Ample margins to clear at top, corner crease top right, tied by "Camden Miss. Apr. 15" (1862) circular datestamp on Hanging Lincoln Cartoon cover (MS-4) to "Mrs. Mary Burns, Oso, Texas", barely reduced at right

VERY FINE. ONLY TWELVE EXAMPLES OF THE CELEBRATED HANGING LINCOLN ENVELOPE ARE RECORDED, OF WHICH ONLY TWO ARE STAMPED WITH THE 10-CENT ROSE LITHOGRAPH GENERAL ISSUE. ONE OF THE GREATEST CONFEDERATE GENERAL ISSUE COVERS.

The Hanging Lincoln design is widely recognized as the most distinctive of all Civil War patriotics. In this extraordinary cartoon, President Lincoln is hanging upside down from a tree limb, with his symbolic axe and fence rail tied around his neck. The caption reads "Abe Lincoln the destroyer. He once split Rails. Now he has split the Union." To the left and right is the caption "The penalty of disregarding the constitution. Impeached, deposed, Tried and convicted" (there is a spelling correction from "diposed" to "deposed"). Standing beside Lincoln is a mustachioed Winfield Scott, labeled "Old Fuss n Feathers", dropping his sword and exclaiming "My glory is gone for ever." On the ground is the Union flag, captioned "The stars and stripes lie in the dust, Never to rise." A star at left has the caption "The southern star is rising" and the Confederate 11-star flag towers above with the caption "The stars and bars shall for ever wave triumphant." Along the bottom is the imprint "Copyright claimed. HM & WC Box 417 Nashville Tenn." Despite continuing investigation, we have been unable to uncover the identity of the publishers "HM & WC."

Paid 10, the offered as lot 558 in this sale; 2) Aug. 21, 1861, Nashville Ten., two 5c provisionals, ex Kimmel, Myers, Rudy, D.K. Collection (Siegel Sale 1022, lot 1066); 3) Aug. 30, 1861, Athens La.
