Triumph by Morris H Traubel (1820-1897). Print on wove paper : lithograph printed in pale green, buff and black. A large, elaborate allegory predicting the triumph of the Union over the dark forces of the Confederacy and 'King Cotton'. A published key accompanying the print describes the secession of the South in heavily moralistic terms, as the working of an insidious 'Hydra of human discord', spawner of treachery and rebellion.
