The record for this item is brief: it carries the bracketed note "[No illus.]," which means the cataloguer found no picture to describe, and it is dated 1864. That year falls in the middle of the American Civil War, when printed matter of many kinds, from newspapers and broadsides to pamphlets and sheet music, circulated widely in the North and South. Items like this one were often filed with pictorial material because the Library's Prints and Photographs Division holds more than images, and the note is worth keeping in mind when reading the record. Because the entry gives no further description, its exact contents and purpose remain unclear from the catalog alone.
