EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored halftone reproduction of a reward poster takes us back to May 1865, a significant time in American history. The poster offers an astonishing $100,000 in gold for the capture of none other than Jefferson Davis, the former President of the Confederate States of America. This vintage artifact serves as a reminder of the intense pursuit and desire to bring justice after the Civil War. The intricate details on this poster showcase its traditional craftsmanship and historical significance. It represents both the heritage and division that existed during this era, with its roots deeply embedded in Southern culture. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when North America was grappling with war and unity. The boldness of offering such an enormous sum demonstrates just how determined authorities were to apprehend Davis. It symbolizes not only his personal arrest but also signifies the collapse of Confederate government and surrender at large. As we reflect on this piece from North Wind Picture Archives, it serves as a tangible connection to our past—a visual representation that encapsulates an important chapter in American history. Let us remember those who fought bravely during these turbulent times while acknowledging how far our nation has come since then.
