Poor Old Simple Virginia
An old woman, stooped over and holding a cane, has Union soldiers ("NORTH" on the left) and Confederate soldiers ("SOUTH" on the right) climbing ladders to reach her back so they can fight each other. Many guns and flags can be seen. The woman is labeled "OLD DOMINION." Two tents flying the Confederate flag are visible in the background on the right side. The caption below reads "POOR OLD SIMPLE VIRGINIA." Above is the verse, "'You may plant your seeds in peace, for Old Virginia will have to bear the brunt of battle.' Gov. Pickens." Red ink on beige envelope, image on left. |
