    "Il nuovo blasone della Prussia" (Prussian New Coat of Arms) Vignetta di Albert Weisberger (1878-1915), published in "Jugend", 28 Oct 1907

¶ A small card bearing a vitriolic indictment of the Confederacy. The artist particularly attacks the the institution of slavery, the foundation of Southern economy. A large shield is flanked by two figures: a planter (left) and a slave. The planter wears spurs and a broad-brimmed hat and smokes a cigar. The slave is clad only in breeches, and his hands are manacled. Above the shield are two crossed flags, the Confederate flag and one bearing a skull and crossbones and the number 290. Between the flags are a rooster and a streamer with the motto "servitudo esto perpetua." On the shield are images associated with the South: a mint julep, a bottle of "Old Rye," a pistol and dagger, a whip and manacles, cotton, tobacco, and sugar plants, and slaves hoeing. In the background left, dominated by the palmetto tree of South Carolina, three planters, one holding a whip, play cards at a table. Beyond, two men duel with pistols. On the right, a female slave is auctioned as two slave children stand by and a black woman watches from a cabin doorway.

¶¶ "Arms: Quarterly, i, two dwarfs of the forest of perpetual night proper, journalistically exploited to the nines, ii, a continent sable, crossed by a small white band issuant from the interior, iii, a New York herald blowing a trumpet of his own in exultation over repeated columns of copy sensational to the last, iv, a missionary of renown discovered in solitude near U-jiji sable.
Crest: Out of a demi-terrestrial globe "southern hemisphere" a spread-eagle proper emergent in his glory gorged with honorary degrees "south latitude", bearing in dexter claw an American flag, in sinister an union-jack.
Supporters: Dexter, A neutral monarch crowned, sceptred, and habited proper in a can't-go-free state, Sinister, A publisher radiant charged in the arms with a colossal profit on the books of the present viscount.
Second Motto, "Mr. Speaker, I presume?" on very rare occasions.""
