This is a wonderful color lithograph published by W.E. Baker of Ridge Hill Farm, Wellesley, for southern regiments and guests who participated in the Fete Champetre at his farm on June 19, 1875. Mr. Baker was in the habit of having large festivals at his farm and had a hotel to accomodate guests.
The map is in the shape of a pig with Florida and Lower California as feet and two extra feet drawn in. Cuba is shown as a sausage.
