Description |
Civil War print using the allegory of a coat of arms to criticize slavery and Southern culture. Depicts the shield adorned
with symbolic Southern imagery, including a mint julep, pistol, whip and manacles, and enslaved African Americans, including
a woman with a baby, working in the field. The shield is flanked by a white man plantation owner, attired in spurs and smoking
a pipe, and a bare-chested, barefooted, enslaved African American man in manacles. Above the shield stands a rooster between
the Confederate flag and a flag with a skull, cross-bones, and the number 290. Above the rooster is a streamer inscribed "Servitudo
Esto Perpetua." In the background, white men plantation owners play cards, two white men duel, and an auction of enslaved
people is in progress.
