(DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.) E. Sachse & Co.; lithographers. The Rose of the Capital. Hand-colored lithograph, 13 1/4 inches round, printed on both sides, folding to a triangle of one-eighth size; minimal wear at intersection of folds. With original triangular hand-colored paper envelope, which provides the title and names the lithographer. Washington: Casimir Bohn, 1861
Includes 30 vignettes of Washington scenes, plus centerpiece roses on each side. You would think such an attractive presentation would have found a great audience among the hordes of Federal recruits passing through Washington in 1861, but only one copy is found in OCLC, and no others are known at auction.
