A single-page Civil War-era satirical envelope vignette titled 'Cotton is King!', numbered 'No. 2' in a series. It shows a crowned cotton bale seated beside a John Bull-type figure reading a newspaper, with a verse mocking England's dependence on Southern cotton and on slave labor. It concerns the cotton trade politics of 1861 and has no weaving content.
