God Save the Republic. Never in Field or Tent Scorn a Black Regiment... View of Transparency.
Large folio leaf, folded to form four pages, with the first page dominated by a color lithographed representation of a transparency exhibited in Philadelphia; expert repairs along the central vertical fold and at scattered spots along the edges. Philadelphia: Rigwalt and Brown, 1864
- Notes: Basically in brochure format and issued to celebrate emancipation in Maryland, which took place on 01 November 1864. The lithographed image shows a cut-away view of the front of a building on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia where colored troops were enlisted. Within the transparency are vignettes of colored troops in battle, slaves on the auction block, etc. The text accompanying includes George Boker's poem "The Black Regiment," and various quotes from John Quincy Adams, Andrew Johnson, and others.
