JEFF IN PETTICOATS, c1865 - A Captivating Caricature of Confederate Escape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures a significant moment in American history during the mid-1860s. Titled "Jeff in Petticoats" it showcases a sheet music cover featuring a caricature that humorously depicts Jefferson Davis, the leader of the Confederate Army, attempting to escape dressed as a woman. Created by Henry Tucker and George Cooper in 1865, this lithograph offers an amusing commentary on the desperate measures taken by Confederates towards the end of the Civil War. The image portrays Davis running frantically while donning petticoats, highlighting his comical attempt at disguise. The clever artwork not only satirizes Davis but also serves as a symbol of Union victory over their Confederate foes. This piece encapsulates both historical significance and artistic expression. Printed by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection, this visual artifact provides valuable insights into societal attitudes and perceptions during that era. It reminds us how art can be used to convey political messages and shed light on pivotal moments in our past. As we reflect upon this unique depiction of Jeff's escapade, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back to an important chapter in American history while simultaneously engaging our senses with its artistic brilliance.
