Searching for arms.

Notes:

Union troops carry out a nighttime search for weapons in a residence. The women of the house huddle together in their shifts at right while an angry older gentleman is restrainted by two Union soldiers. One soldier (with a liquor bottle peeking out of his jacket) holds up the contraband that was found: a small Confederate flag.; Reprinted in the 1880s from original plates created by Volck in the 1860s. Set titled Confederate War Etchings and published by Porter & Coates. This is plate 5.; Adalbert Johann Volck originally published this print under the pseudonym V. Blada.
