Created by Thomas Walter Wilson in 1889, this print captures the essence of a pivotal era. In this scene, we witness Mr Jefferson Davis, former President of the Confederate Southern States of America during the tumultuous years of the Civil War. Standing beside a dusty roadside, he is engrossed in his duty as he signs official documents that hold immense weight and consequence.
