Lot 1072
Approximately 1200 Patriotic Covers. Period album, 14½" x 11", with six covers or panels (it is difficult to tell) affixed to a page. The album probably belonged to a printer, and contained the many various examples it was possible to obtain. Each is different. There are locals representing camps, printer varieties, and printing designs; there are color and embossed examples, as well as about a dozen or so printer mock-ups. There are many patriotic sentiments and a wide variety of images: flags, eagles, patriotic shields, Zouaves, generals, Lady Liberty, George Washington, etc. Album covers are worn and the covers or panels have show-through at corners from glue residue, but this album should be viewed in person for the scope of its contents to be appreciated.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 5,000.
