Abstract
Noose Manufacturing Process. A strand of hemp appears to the right side of the image. The word, "Agriculture" appears below the strand of hemp. One of the hemp stalks extends to what appears to be a spinning wheel operated by a man in formal attire. The words, "Hemp for Traitors, North or South", appear on the rim of the spinning wheel. The word, "Manufactures" appears below the spinning wheel. A strand of rope goes from the spinning wheel to a gallows in order to form a noose. The words, "Fine Arts", appears below the gallows. The image implies that all traitors will be punished, no matter where they appear. Above the image, appears the text "Them pesky Treason fellers hev got to hev rope and more tew, and we mite just as well be gettin the hemp dewins ready first as last and give 'em full swing..."
