[DAVIS, Jefferson (1808-1889), subject]. ?Jeff Davis After the Fall of Fort Sumter 1861/Fort Sumter 1863?. [Boston: D. C. Johnston, ca. 1863]. Scarce engraved political card with pull-out flap, which changes the expression of Davis? face (happy with the 1861 version, shocked with the 1863 version). Approximately 5 ? x 2 ??. Fine. With ?Postage 3 cents? printed on the pull-out flap. A charming and scarce artifact lampooning Davis? reaction to the repatriation of Fort Sumter.
