Large card printed on white glossy cardstock. Printed by James B. Rodgers at 52 & 54 North Sixth Street in Philadelphia. Dated the day of Lee's surrender. Says "Died near the south-side rail road, on Sunday, April 9, 1865, The Southern Confederacy, aged four years, conceived in sin, born in iniquity, nurtured by tyranny, died of a chronic attack of punch." Based on content and tone, this card probably pre-dates Lincoln's assassination.
