The record gives this print the title *Reconstruction of the South* but dates it to 1857, a mismatch worth noticing, since Reconstruction usually refers to the years after the Civil War, roughly 1865 to 1877. The cataloging notes flag the data as unverified, drawn from a shelflist card that names someone called Tholey. The "Eastern District of Penn." notation may point to a federal court district, which often appeared on copyright filings, so those records could help clarify when and by whom the piece was made.
