Front page print of Jefferson Davis... More prints relating to America...

Item # 700029 ·
THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, March 16, 1861  The front page has a nice print captioned: "The Hon. Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy of America" with an article on him further into the issue.
England was a supporter of the South during the Civil War, primarily because the South was a source of cotton with the British mills desperately needed.
Page 2 has various reports from "America" which includes news items from: "The Confederate States" as seen in the photos. Also a full page print of: "General Winfield Scott, Commander-in-Chief of the United States' Forces" with a related article on him on the following page. And another page has a print of a: "Railway Station in Georgia, America" with an article on the preceding page. 
England had a vested interest in the war, supporting the Confederacy because of its great need for cotton.  
Complete in 24 pages, very nice condition.
