Unused, Civil War patriotic envelope, with full color vignette of the Confederate bombardment of Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, April 12-13, 1861. The American flag can be prominently seen flying over the fort with artillery shells bursting around it. Verse below, "Though seven rebel forts combined, Set Sumter's Fort in flame, They in each freeman's heart enshrined, Brave Anderson's bright name." "Copyright 1861" is imprinted at the top of the envelope. Imprint on the back flap, Magee, 316 Chestnut St., Phila. This is the full envelope with entire back flap. Very fine. Nice 1861 dated Bombardment of Fort Sumter cover. |
