Ye book of Copperheads
A Civil War propaganda pamphlet of limericks against Northern Copperhead Democrats, written by Charles Godfrey Leland and published by F. Leypoldt in Philadelphia in 1863 for Union sympathizers. Each verse sits under a wood-engraved cartoon in a ruled border, where coiling snakes with human heads menace smokers, boots, newspapers and top-hatted politicians; useful for serpent motifs, frame rules and hatched line vignettes.
