Description

A bulldog with a bicorn hat representing Winfield Scott looms over a smaller, malnourished dog representing Jefferson Davis. An American flag flies above the bulldog and a Confederate fla hangs upside down from Jeff's tail. A piece of meat labeled ""Washington"" sits between them. ""Why don't you take it"" runs around the right corner of the image and it is captioned: A polite invitation. ""D. Murphy's Son, Print, 65 Fulton & 372 Pearl Ste. N.Y"" is printed in small letters underneath ""a polite invitation"".
