This print presents the national name as a brand of coffee, with the title "United States Of America, Our Standard Coffee" placing a patriotic label on an everyday grocery item. Engraved in Boston by Kilburn & Mallory, with color applied by A. Holland in oil inks, it reflects the wartime habit of drawing on national symbols to sell household goods. Advertisers in the early 1860s often tied their products to the Union cause, and a bright color card like this would have caught a shopper's eye. George G. Spurr held the copyright, a reminder that such commercial prints were treated as protected works of art.
