This series contains almost 4,500 small-size printed items that pertain to or portray imagery of military and wartime primarily related to the United States from 1785 to approximately 1900. The majority of this series consists of Civil War-era patriotic envelopes, also called patriotic covers, which number over 4,200 (Binders 2-31). These envelopes feature patriotic slogans and printed illustrations of battle scenes, forts, hospitals, city views, portraits of military officers and political figures, and depictions of patriotic symbols such as flags, eagles, and the goddess Columbia. While most of the envelopes are unused, several do have manuscript text and/or postmarks. A few envelopes also have coordinating letterhead stationery. (Note: Stationery items with coordinating patriotic envelopes are housed with their respective envelopes in Binders 2-31. Stationery items without coordinating envelopes in this collection are housed with General Ephemera in Binder 1.) Letterheads, postcards, booklets, souvenir items, trade cards, tickets, and other promotional materials from a variety of businesses printed with military-related illustrations comprise the General ephemera (Binder 1) in this series. Civil War song sheets with music and lyrics, often with printed and hand-colored illustrations, are found in Binder 32.
