dc.description Jefferson Davis is approaching a guillotine as a uniformed crowd looks on with raised swords. Buildings appear in the background. The artist appears to be intentionally using the appearance of the buildings and the attire of the people to evoke comparisons to the French Revolution. Neither representation is appropriate for the Civil War time period.
