Master Jeff and His Navy
| Jefferson Davis, dressed as a sailor, wears a hat with the initials "JD" on it. He is holding up a wooden toy boat that flies the Confederate flag and a skull and crossbones banner. He is standing next to a wooden tub filled with water. The caption below reads, "Master Jeff-and his Navy." The image implies that the Confederate navy is nothing more than a child's toy. Blue ink on a beige envelope, image on left side. Image printed on envelope, mounted on various colored pages and collected in an album. |
