Answer Liberty's Call... Outside Brooklyn City Hall!

This black and white poster with a vibrant, red-ink illustration is more than just a call to arms; it's a fascinating window into the life of Civil War-era New York. Reproduced from an original by the esteemed printers Baker & Godwin, it sought to enlist men into the "Senatorial Regiment" under Colonel Anthony Conk with a powerful combination of patriotic imagery and a truly impressive bounty.

The poster breaks down the $225 bounty—a massive sum for the time:

$60 from the City of Brooklyn

$50 from the State of New York

$102 from the United States

$13 (one month's pay) in advance

This financial incentive, combined with the detailed instructions to report to a tent outside the old Brooklyn City Hall at 209 Joralemon Street (a building that still stands today!), makes this a remarkable historical document. The artwork, printed by Baker & Godwin and featuring the "Liberty Cap," adds a layer of classical, revolutionary symbolism to the urgent call for soldiers.

The artwork is a classic patriotic tableau: a noble woman sits with a proud eagle beside a great American flag shield, as symbols of American progress—a train crossing a bridge—unfold in the background. Above it all, a Phrygian cap labeled "LIBERTY" radiates light, a timeless symbol of freedom. The banner's cry, "RESPOND TO YOUR COUNTRY'S CALL!" is both a plea and a command.

This high-quality print is perfect for a study or office, celebrating a unique moment in the history of Brooklyn, New York, and the nation itself. A must-have for historians, genealogists with Brooklyn roots, and anyone fascinated by the intricate details of the Union war effort.
