Currier & Ives produced many political satires during the Civil War. This example caricatures the Confederate leader Jefferson Davis, shown as a greyhound, who cringes away from an aggressive bulldog representing the Northern general Ulysses S. Grant. Between them sits a piece of "Prize beef" labeled "Washington."
