Description:

It is a hand-colored graphic print by Charles Magnus & Co. in New York. These ephemeral broadsides were wildly popular during the war, combining patriotic, emotional lyrics with vivid, hand-painted illustrations to boost morale on the home front and in military camps. The top of the broadside features a detailed, vibrant scene—often a dramatic Union cavalry charge or a bustling military camp—carefully hand-colored or stenciled by artists. The Publisher: Charles Magnus was an influential printmaker based in New York City, renowned for creating high-quality, visually striking illustrated envelopes, maps, and song sheets during the Civil War era. The Theme: The song reflects the romanticized and deeply patriotic sentiment of the era, focusing on the pride and longing of a woman whose partner is away fighting in the Union army.
