Object Details
- Description
- This patriotic envelope highlights sentiments from the Spanish-American War. This war cover is part of a wider phenomenon of stationery companies endorsing American patriotism by adding images and text to writing paper and envelopes. Such stationery proved popular with the public because it was both attractive and provided a means of publically endorsing a cause. For the stationery companies the benefit lay in allowing them to expand their product line while still appearing patriotic.
