| Description |
A Union soldier holds a rifle with a bayonet while embracing an African-American woman. His actions cause the woman to spill
the liquid in the bottle she carries on a platter. Her dress is turned up to reveal her crinoline and legs. Behind them, an
African American man holds his fist up.

| Notes |
Text: You nasty, Black Republican, / To hug the sooty African, / How sweet to you her stench must seem, / When the day Star
reigns reigns surpreme; -- / That she's your equal in your creed, / To Niggerdom then quickly speed, / For such a filthy kin
to swine / Shall never be my Valentine.
