The New Quaker Bonnet, 1861.
| A Quaker bonnet made from the Union flag. It is unlikely that any practicing Quaker would have anything to do with a "Union bonnet" because of their beliefs for pacifism and against symbolism. Quakers did play a major role in organizing and running the so-called “Underground Railroad” — a system of secret routes and safe-houses that helped runaway slaves reach freedom in the northern states and in Canada. Blue and red ink on cream envelope, image on left side. Image printed on envelope, mounted on various colored pages and collected in an album. |
