"Gen. Dix's Proclamation". Published in Baltimore in 1861 by a Confederate sympathizer, in the name of Union General John L. Dix, who was in command of Union troops at Baltimore, which was under martial law. The "proclamation" pokes fun at "the feeling excited in the breasts of our brave Union army by the combination of colors known as red, white and red…." "Done at the Baltimore Bastime, this 4th day of September, the 1st year of Abraham's glorious and peaceful reign," 7½" x 5¼", matted and framed to 11¾" x 8¾". Fine.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
