[DAVIS, Jefferson (1808-1889)]. Satirical mechanical “Jeff Davis, After the fall of Fort Sumter” card. Boston: D.C. Johnston, n.d. [ca. 1863]. 133 x 70 mm. (Small corner tear with no loss). A Northern propaganda metamorphic card. One image shows a view of a smiling Davis “After the Fall of Fort Sumter, 1861”. A slight pull of the slide tab at the bottom of the card transforms Davis’ face into a scowling grimace with the caption “After the Fall of Fort Sumter, 1863”. In 1861, the beginning of the American Civil War commenced following the surrender of the United States Army at Fort Sumter on April 12-13, after South Carolina’s declared secession on 20 December 1860. On 8 September 1863, Union forces under Major General Quincy Gilmore bombarded the Fort, reducing it to rubble following the attack. A RARE EXAMPLE.
