In Defence of the Union and the Constitution~ 1861 Poster

In Defence of the Union and the Constitution ~ 1861. Vintage historic political print. A large certificate for a volunteer serving in the Union army to suppress the rebellion of 1861. In the centre stands a woman, probably Columbia, holding two laurel wreaths and the Constitution. She extends her protection over a mother and child and a cowering young boy at her feet. In the left foreground a Union volunteer stands alert, holding a bayonet. A cannon and its broken carriage wheel lie on the ground at right. In the right background is a view of the State House in Philadelphia; in the left background is a ship. Below the text is the seal of the State of Pennsylvania with the scales of justice above it. This vintage historical print has been beautifully enhanced, and restored to its former brilliance by the artists at The Vintage Factory. We have also added a complimentary border around the image which really makes it an eye catching work of art. We have many more beautiful vintage posters too.
