Rather than a map or a portrait, this lithograph presents the national coat of arms as a bold, hand-colored emblem, with the eagle, shield, and motto set against a plain field. It was issued around 1864 from Bufford's Print Publishing House on Washington Street in Boston, during the Civil War, when patriotic emblems like this were produced to express loyalty to the Union. The design is credited to Joseph E. Baker, and the record classifies it as an allegorical print, a category that included many of the period's political and patriotic images. Its copyright was entered in 1864 in the name of J.M. Bufford, the firm's head.
