Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A satirical comic poem in six stanzas from Vanity Fair, January 4, 1862, illustrated with three cartoons. It personifies Cotton (the Confederacy) and Corn (the Union) as rival kings, with the British Lion as a third party, and alludes to the Trent affair, in which Confederate commissioners were taken from a British ship. It concerns cotton as political and economic leverage during the American Civil War and has no technical textile content.
