College cover, Virginia Military Institute (CSA Catalog type VA-19b) Using History to Authenticate Covers Patricia A. Kaufmann ollectors and expertisers alike have a powerful tool at hand to authenticate covers: historical facts. Yet this essential resource is often overlooked or iCgnored in verifying postal history. No matter how authentic a cover looks, if facts dispute the claim, the object cannot be genuine. Additionally, depending on the issue at hand, it might be necessary to render a “no opinion” because the claim of authenticity cannot be determined one way or the other. Both collectors and expertizers hate the no opinion determination; however, ren - dering a no opinion is actually a gift to the submitter because it allows for the possibility of verification at a future date should further evidence be presented to bolster the case. However, resubmitting an item to an authentication service without additional evidence to support a case is a wasted effort. The cover presented in this article is not such a murky example. Figure 1 shows an illuminated college cover from Virginia Military Institute (VMI), CSA catalog type VA-19b, displaying a “Sic Semper Tyrannis” oval but no “Superintendent’s Office,” just as is the example in the Confederate States of America Catalog .1 VMI covers are extremely sought after and come in numerous colors. The design is also recorded as a prewar use. 2 The first clue that should get the attention of any serious postal historian is the lack of a postmark tied to the CSA 13, 20-cent green.

    Friends of Camp Floyd Civilian Handbook Version I January 2015 Civilian Activities Impressions Developing a specific impression and first person interpretation is not required by the Group. However, as a civilian, a specific impression, whether in first or third person, can make it easier to explain your presence at events, provides a road map for further research, creates a background for activities at events, and acts as a springboard for interacting with the public. The appendix includes a list of possible impressions appropriate for events and information about developing a first person impression. Don’t feel you have to limit yourself to just those impressions listed. Children Children are welcome to participate with The Friends of Camp Floyd Group and are an asset to the impression of families. All participants under the age of 18 must either have a parent or guardian present. Children under 12 must be supervised at all times. Please do not expect anyone else to watch your children without first asking. Parents should consider purchasing period toys and games for children. Modern toys should be kept and played with in a closed tent. Authenticity Guidelines We take a progressive stance on appropriate clothing and necessary gear, and encourage all members to research independently. The following provides basic information to begin developing an accurate civilian impression. We do not expect new civilian participants to be fully equipped or to have a fully developed impression at the beginning. We know that creating an accurate and authentic impression is an ongoing process and takes time and research. Our members are eager to assist new recruits by sharing their research, directing them to suppliers and loaning items as available.

During this time, the British empire abolished slavery which freed more than 800,000 slaves at the time. Travel was revolutionized by the invention of the steam powered railway. Queen Victoria led London into a sixteen year long mourning after the death of her husband which revolutionized the way civilians dressed. The style of dress was very muted colors with no shine to the jewelry worn and London was very somber during this time. Corsets were very important during this time and shaped the way the woman’s body would be for the rest of her life. Many women during the day would keep themselves occupied by changing up to seven times throughout the day for their daily activities including horseback riding and tea time. The fashion world was revolutionized by the invention of the sewing machine which led to the first every fashion designer, Charles Worth.Charles Worth was the inventor of the polonaise skirt and began to use real women as models which he called mannequins. He also designed for Queen Victoria herself and other royalty. The crinoline was also invented during the Victorian Era which created the full skirt which needed lots of assistance to put on and take off.
