Image of a print created by Benjamin W. Hitchcock's American Card Company advertising Union playing cards designed during the American Civil War. The title is decorative, with red, white, and blue elements used in the design. In the center of the title is an image of an American eagle perched above a dome, surrounded with scrollwork and decorative elements. Main images on print are the twelve covers of the playing cards. Traditional French card icons of suit of hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades have been replaced with patriotic icons of eagles, shields, stars, and flags. The image of the King is replaced by an image of a colonel in military attire. The image of the Queen is replaced by the allegorical Lady/Goddess Liberty shown in stripes and stars while holding up a red liberty cap. The Jack image is replaced by an image of a major dressed in military attire. A decorative border surrounds the print on all sides.
