Its catalog record ties this sheet, the first in Thomas W. Strong's "Dime Caricatures" series, to the Treasury Department and to secession in South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. That subject fits the winter of 1860 and 1861, when South Carolina left the Union in December and several Deep South states followed within weeks, disrupting federal revenue at southern ports. The print is signed with the initials J.H.G., identified as John H. Goater, and Strong is credited as engraver, which makes it a New York product of the early secession crisis.
