Description

1848 Currier and Ives print showing a sailor leaving his sweetheart/wife for sea duty, with probable reference to the Mexican-American war. Poem:

Black Eyed Susan
Oh Susan! Susan! Lovely dear.
My vows shall ever true remain.
Let me kiss off that falling tear.
We only part to meet again.
Change as ye list ye winds! My heart shall be
The faithful Compass, that still points to thee.
