Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Independent Zouaves! Farcical illustrated flyer aimed at the Zouave regiments.
4 7/16 x 9 5/8 in. handbill (horizontal creasing with taped repair, some soiling, sparse spotting). Below title is featured a printed illustration of an eagle perched upon a drum with crossed rifles and flags behind. A list of items to be carried in each knapsack follows, including "4 Pairs Silk Hose," "2 Pairs Parlor Slippers (worked)," "2 Boxes Best Habana," "1 Colored Servant," "3 Bottles Rushton's Diarrhoea [sic] Remedy—certain cure," "1 'Very' Large Pocket Book," "1 Rat Terrier (Black and Tan)," and more. At bottom, a final note advises: "If the Knapsack will not hold the wardrobe, each member is expected to hire a wagon."
This handbill takes aim at Zouave regiments, poking fun at their fanciful uniforms and aristocratic sensibilities by delivering a very high-maintenance packing list.
